\huge\text{Hey there!}


\large\text{We cannot do much of nothing because we don’t have all the information}\\\large\text{to solve.. so we can just simply do process of elimination until we fully find}\\\large\text{the ANSWER you are trying to look for.}


\large\text{Given equation: 25b - 14b}\\\large\text{COMBINE your LIKE TERMS}\\\large\text{\underline{25b - 14b} = 11b}\\\large\text{So, we are looking for an equation that gives us \bf{11b}}


\large\text{Option A.}\downarrow\\\large\text{b(25 - 14)}\\\large\text{DISTRIBUTE: b(25) + b(-14)}\\\bullet\large\text{ Reverts to: 25b - 14b (our ORIGINAL EQUATION) so this can be}\\\large\text{equal to 11b}\\\\\large\text{Option A. could POSSIBLY be your ANSWER}


\large\text{Option B. }\downarrow\\\large\text{b(25 + 14)}\\\large\text{Distribute}\\\large\text{25(b) + 14(b)}\\\large\text{It DOES NOT revert to the original equation. It gives us: 25b + 14b}\\\large\text{If we COMBINE your LIKE TERMS in that equation. We would get: 39b}\\\large\bf{39b \\eq 11b}\\\\\large\text{Option B is NOT your ANSWER}


\large\text{Options C and D CANNOT be your answers because Option C. is}\\\large\text{-11b and Option D. is -39b}


\boxed{\boxed{\large\text{To sum it all up, your ANSWER is: \bf{Option A. b(25 - 14)}}}}\huge\checkmark


\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
