Let's simplify the expression step by step:
The given expression is:
[tex]\[19 - (-8) - (-14)\][/tex]
1. First, handle the first part of the expression:
[tex]\[19 - (-8)\][/tex]
When you subtract a negative number, it is the same as adding the positive version of that number. Therefore:
[tex]\[19 - (-8) = 19 + 8 = 27\][/tex]
2. Next, simplify the remaining part of the expression:
[tex]\[27 - (-14)\][/tex]
Again, subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the positive version of that number. Therefore:
[tex]\[27 - (-14) = 27 + 14 = 41\][/tex]
So, the simplified value of the expression is:
[tex]\[19 - (-8) - (-14) = 41\][/tex]
Thus, the best answer is:
C. 41
