Answer:

8p + 56 + 16q

Explanation:

To distribute, we must multiply all numbers/terms inside the paranthesis by '8.'

So:

8(p) = 8p

8(7) = 56

8(2q) = 16q

So your expression would be 8p + 56 + 16q ^-^

Answer:

$\rm{8p+56+16q$

Explanation:

Hi there!

The Distributive Property states that

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Let's use this property to simplify our expression:

$\rm{8(p+7+2q)$

$\rm{8p+56+16q$

Thus,
$\rm{8p+56+16q$ is our final answer.
