Greetings!
I'm going to assume you want to simplify the expression:
[tex]2(5x-1)+14[/tex]
First, distribute the parenthesis:
[tex]=2(5x-1)+14[/tex]
[tex]=[(5x)(2)-(1)(2)]+14[/tex]
[tex]=(10x-2)+14[/tex]
Next, you want to combine like terms:
[tex]=(10x-2)+14[/tex]
[tex]=10x+12[/tex]
This is the furthest the expression can be simplified:
[tex]\boxed{10x+12}[/tex]
I hope this helped!
