Step-by-step explanation:
I am sure you mistyped something here and/or there is something missing.
because 146 - 144 = 2
and nothing in the answer options shows anything like it.
now, if the problem actually said for example
14×6 - 14×4
that could be expressed as
14×(6-4) = 14×2
and that could be the first answer option (also with missing multiplication symbol).
