Answer

7$x^{2}$ + 15

Work Step by Step

14$x^{2}$ + 5 - [7($x^{2}$ - 2) + 4] Step 1: Drop parentheses and multiply 7 with each term and change the sign of each term in parentheses: 7$x^{2}$ - 14 Step 2 Simplify inside brackets: -14+4 = -10 14$x^{2}$ + 5- [7$x^{2}$ - 10] Step 3 drop brackets and change the sign of each term in brackets 14$x^{2}$ + 5- 7$x^{2}$ + 10 Step 4: Group like terms( 14$x^{2}$ - 7$x^{2}$ ) +(5 + 10) Step 6: Combine the like terms ( 14$x^{2}$ - 7$x^{2}$ ) = 7$x^{2}$ So, final solution 7$x^{2}$ + 15
