Trudy writes an expression to calculate the mass defect of a carbon-14 nucleus using the symbols in the table.

A 2 column table with 4 rows. The first column is labeled quantity with entries mass of carbon-14 nucleus, mass of proton, mass of neutron, mass of electron. The second column is labeled symbol with entries m Subscript C-14 baseline, m Subscript p baseline, m Subscript n baseline, m Subscript e baseline.

Which expression should Trudy write?

(6mp + 8mn) - mc - 14

(8mp + 6mn) - mc - 14

mp + mn - mc - 14

6mp + 8me - mc - 14
