Solution

Step 1: Substitute the given values

Substitute $ a = -19 $ and $ b = 14 $ into the expression $ a + 2b $: \[ a + 2b = -19 + 2(14) \]

Step 2: Perform the multiplication

Calculate $ 2(14) $: \[ 2(14) = 28 \]

Step 3: Add the results

Add $-19$ and $28$: \[ -19 + 28 = 9 \]

\[ \boxed{9} \]
