Let's simplify step-by-step.
2(11(a−2)+12)−(2(5a−3)+a)
Distribute the Negative Sign:
=2(11(a−2)+12)+−1(2(5a−3)+a)
=2(11(a−2)+12)+−1(2(5a−3))+−1a
=2(11(a−2)+12)+−10a+6+−a
Distribute:
=(2)(11(a−2))+(2)(12)+−10a+6+−a
=22a+−44+24+−10a+6+−a
Combine Like Terms:
=22a+−44+24+−10a+6+−a
=(22a+−10a+−a)+(−44+24+6)
=11a+−14
Answer:
=11a−14
