To solve the expression [tex]\((5 + 4 - 2) \times (-2)\)[/tex], we need to follow the order of operations, also known as BIDMAS/BODMAS (Brackets, Orders, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction).

1. Evaluate the expression inside the parentheses first:

[tex]\(5 + 4 - 2\)[/tex]

Start by performing the addition and subtraction from left to right:
[tex]\[ 5 + 4 = 9 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 9 - 2 = 7 \][/tex]

So, the expression inside the parentheses evaluates to 7.

2. Multiply the result by [tex]\(-2\)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ 7 \times (-2) = -14 \][/tex]

Thus, the final result of the expression [tex]\((5 + 4 - 2) \times (-2)\)[/tex] is [tex]\(-14\)[/tex].

Therefore, the best answer is:

C. [tex]\(-14\)[/tex]
