Answer:

  • The solution to the expression is 10 - 10x

Explanation:

Let's first simplify the bracket. The whole bracket has been multiplied by 4.

  • 14 - 4(3x + 1) + 2x

Simplification:

  • => 14 - 12x - 4 + 2x
  • => (14 - 4) + (-12x + 2x)

Further Simplification:

  • => 10 + (-10x)
  • => 10 - 10x

Hence, the solution to the expression is 10 - 10x

Hoped this helped.
