D. -8:²-14

Answer 1

`\huge\mathbb{ \underline{SOLUTION :}}`

Given:

• 
  `\bold{-6(2^2+3)-2(1^2-2)}`

`\\`

The
`\mathrm{distributive \: property}` states that an expression that is given in the form of
`\small\sf{ A(B + C)}` can be solved as
`\small\sf{A * (B + C) = AB + AC}` . So:

`\small\longrightarrow\sf{-24-18-2+4}`

`\small\longrightarrow\sf{-42+2}`

▪
`\large\tt{All \: \: options \: \: are \: \: wrong}`

`\\`

`\huge \mathbb{ \underline{ANSWER:}}`

`\small\longrightarrow\sf{−6 (2^2+3) − 2 (1^2 - 2) = \underline{-6(4+3)}}`
