To expand single brackets, you multiply the term on the outside by everything on the inside, so:
-6 × a = -6x
-6 × 8 = -48

Which means that your final answer is -6a - 48
I hope this helps!

it would be -6a-48
because you have to do the distributive property by multiplying the outside number to everything on the inside. Sprinkle the outer number onto the inner cupcakes and then viola!
