To solve the expression (2 \cdot 8(7 - 6x) - 6(7 + 8x)), first, distribute the constants into the parentheses:

  1. Calculate (8(7 - 6x) = 56 - 48x) and (6(7 + 8x) = 42 + 48x).
  2. Substitute these back into the expression: (2(56 - 48x) - (42 + 48x)).
  3. Distribute the 2: (112 - 96x - 42 - 48x).
  4. Combine like terms: (112 - 42 = 70) and (-96x - 48x = -144x), giving you the final simplified expression: (70 - 144x).
