Distribute: -(14s+9)-7(s+11)

Distribute the -1 to the 14s+9 (this means multiply-1 and 14s, then multiply -1 and 9) to get -14s-9. Then distribute the -7 to the s+11 (this mean multiply -7 and s, then multiply -7 and 11) to get -7s-77. You will now have the equation -14s-9-7s-77. Simplify this by adding like terms (-14s-7s) and (-9-77) you will get the equation: -21s-86

Distributing -(14s+9)-7(s+11) gives -14s -9 -7s -77; and further simplification results into -21s -86

From the question,

We are to distribute -(14s+9)-7(s+11)

To do this,

We will clear the bracket by distributing the terms outside

That is,

-(14s+9)-7(s+11) becomes

-14s -9 -7s -77

Now, if desired, we can simplify further by collecting like terms

-14s -9 -7s -77

-14s -7s -9 -77

Then, we get

-21s -86

The simplified expression is -21s -86

Hence, distributing -(14s+9)-7(s+11) gives -14s -9 -7s -77; and further simplification results into -21s -86
