Final answer:

Using distribution, the rewritten results in -84x - 28y.

Step-by-step explanation:

To rewrite the expression -14(6x+2y) using distribution, we need to distribute -14 to each term inside the parentheses.

Starting with the x term, we have:

-14 * 6x = -84x

Next, we distribute -14 to the y term:

-14 * 2y = -28y

Combining the distributed terms, we have -84x - 28y.
