Let's simplify step-by-step.

2(11(a−2)+12)−(2(5a−3)+a)

Distribute the Negative Sign:

=2(11(a−2)+12)+−1(2(5a−3)+a)

=2(11(a−2)+12)+−1(2(5a−3))+−1a

=2(11(a−2)+12)+−10a+6+−a

Distribute:

=(2)(11(a−2))+(2)(12)+−10a+6+−a

=22a+−44+24+−10a+6+−a

Combine Like Terms:

=22a+−44+24+−10a+6+−a

=(22a+−10a+−a)+(−44+24+6)

=11a+−14

Answer:

=11a−14
