Answer:The given expression is:

Explanations:

8 - ( -3d + 2)

Open up the brackets:

The negative (-) sign outside the bracket will multiply both -3d and 2 one by one.

The equation then becomes:

8 + 3d - 2

Collect like terms:

8 and 2 are similar, they can come together. The equation becomes

8 - 2 + 3d

6 + 3d

Note that 3 is a common factor of 6 and 3, the equation finally becomes:

3 ( 2 + d)
