See a solution process below:

First, remove all of the terms from parenthesis. Be careful to handle the signs of each individual term correctly:

$6 t - 13 - 14 t + 4$ $6t - 13 - 14t + 4$

Next, group like terms:

$6 t - 14 t - 13 + 4$ $6t - 14t - 13 + 4$

Now, combine like terms:

$(6 - 14) t + (- 13 + 4)$ $(6 - 14)t + (-13 + 4)$

$- 8 t + (- 9)$ $-8t + (-9)$

$- 8 t - 9$ $-8t - 9$

How do you simplify (6t−13)+(−14t+4)(6t-13)+(-14t+4)?
