Hey there!
Just as a review, we know that when variables are next to each other, they're being multiplied. Therefore, when we plug in these values, they're being multiplied. We have x as -6 and y as 2, and plugging these in, we get:
14 - 2(-6)(2) =
Remember, a negative number times a negative number is a positive number. That two is negative because it's being subtracted and has a negative sign in front of it.
14 + 12(2) =
12 + 24 =
36
Therefore, your answer is 36.
Hope this helps!
