$6f + 7$

First, expand all the terms within parenthesis paying close attention to the signs both inside and outside the parenthesis:

$20 - (2*4f) + (2*9) + (7*2f) - (7*6) + 11$

20 - 8f + 18 + 14f - 41 + 11#

Next we can group like terms:

$-8f + 14f + 20 + 18 - 42 + 11$

Now we can combine like terms:

$(-8 + 14)f + 7$

$6f + 7$

Simplify 20 - (2 * 4f) + (2 * 9) + (7 * 2f) - (7 * 6) + 1120 - (2 * 4f) + (2 * 9) + (7 * 2f) - (7 * 6) + 11?
