1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $2[ -65 - 43(75 - 98)]$.
2. **Apply the order of operations:** Start by simplifying inside the parentheses.
3. Calculate $75 - 98$:
$$75 - 98 = -23$$
4. Substitute back:
$$2[ -65 - 43(-23)]$$
5. Multiply $43$ by $-23$:
$$43 \times (-23) = -989$$
6. Substitute:
$$2[ -65 - (-989)] = 2[ -65 + 989]$$
7. Simplify inside the brackets:
$$-65 + 989 = 924$$
8. Multiply by 2:
$$2 \times 924 = 1848$$
**Final answer:**
$$1848$$
