Option C

The difference of (14m + 4) - (7m - 1) is 7m + 5

Solution:

Given that the expression is (14m + 4) - (7m -1)

We need to evaluate the expression and find the difference

The expression can be evaluated according to BODMAS

BODMAS represents the sequence of operations - Brackets, Order, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction.

⇒ (14m + 4) - (7m -1)

According to BODMAS, Brackets has to evaluated first.

⇒14m + 4 - 7m + 1

Now adding the like terms we get,

7m + 5

Hence the difference of given expression is 7m + 5 Hence Option C is correct
