Answer:
6a - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]12(3a-1) -3(14a-1)\\[/tex]
First you want to factor. Factor out a -3 from both terms.
[tex]= (-3)(-4(4a-1) + (14a-1))\\[/tex]
Then you want to expand the right bracket.
[tex]= (-3)(-16a + 4 + 14a - 1)\\[/tex]
Collect the like terms
[tex]= (-3)(-2a +3)\\[/tex]
Distribute:
[tex]= 6a - 9[/tex]
