Step-by-step solution

First, let's address the expression in the innermost parentheses.

Remember that when we multiply a negative number by a negative number, the result will be positive.

Now we get:

25x+33y+6z(14+12y3z)= 25x+33y+6z-(14+12y-3z)=

Let's now look at the expression in parentheses while remembering rule:

When we multiply a positive number by a negative number, the result will be negative.

We get:

25x+33y+6z1412y+3z= 25x+33y+6z-14-12y+3z=

Now let's combine the y coefficients:

33y12y=21y 33y-12y=21y

Now let's combine the z coefficients:

6z+3z=9z 6z+3z=9z

This leaves us with:

25x+21y+9z14 25x+21y+9z-14

Final Answer

25x+21y+9z14 25x+21y+9z-14
