The given expression is


-\lvert14-6n+7(q+2t)\rvert

n = 1, q = -6, and t = -2


-\lvert14-6(1)+7\lbrack(-6)+2(-2)\rbrack\rvert=

Simplify the square bracket


\begin{gathered} -\lvert14-6+7\lbrack-6+(-4)\rbrack\rvert= \\ -\lvert14-6+7\lbrack-10\rbrack\rvert= \end{gathered}

Multiply 7 by -10


\begin{gathered} -\lvert14-6+(-70)\rvert= \\ -\lvert14-6-70\rvert= \end{gathered}

Add all terms


-\lvert14-6-70\rvert=-\lvert-62\rvert

The absolute value will cancel the negative of 62 (I-62I = 62)


-\lvert-62\rvert=-62

The answer is -62
