Simplify $2 ( r - 7 s ) - 2 ( 4 r - 3 s )$ by eliminating the parentheses and combining like terms.
A) $10 r - 8 s$
B) $- 6 r - 20 s$
C) $- 6 r - 8 s$
D) $10 r - 20 s$
E) $- 6 r - 10 s$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Distributing the coefficients of the parentheses, we get:
$$2r-14s-8r+6s$$
Combining like terms, we get:
$$-6r-8s$$
Therefore, the correct answer is (C).

Simplify 2(r−7s)−2(4r−3s)2 ( r - 7 s ) - 2 ( 4 r - 3 s )2(r−7s)−2(4r−3s)

Simplify $2 ( r - 7 s ) - 2 ( 4 r - 3 s )$
