\huge \boxed{\mathbb{QUESTION} \downarrow}

  • Simplify ⇨ 19m + 14 - 3 (3m + 7)


\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}


\sf \: 19 m - 14 - 3 ( 3 m + 7 )

Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 3m+7.


\sf \: 19m-14-9m-21

Combine 19m and -9m to get 10m.


\sf \: 10m-14-21

Subtract 21 from -14 to get -35.


\boxed{\boxed{\bf \: 10m-35 }}
