14. Solve the linear equation $3-(4+k)=2(k+1)$. a. $k=-1$ c. $k=-3$ b. $k=1$ d. $k=3$

Step 1 ：Simplify the equation: \(3 - (4 + k) = 2(k + 1)\)

Step 2 ：Distribute the 2 on the right side: \(3 - 4 - k = 2k + 2\)

Step 3 ：Combine like terms: \(-1 - k = 2k + 2\)

Step 4 ：Isolate k: \(-1 - 2 = 3k\)

Step 5 ：Solve for k: \(k = -1\)

Step 6 ：\(\boxed{k = -1}\)
