Question

Can someone please help me understand how to expand 8(3y-4). Please give a detailed explanation.

Answer 1

well, you can multiply them, to simplify the equation, but to expand, try adding or multiplying 2 multiples of 8, in the middle the 4 can change by adding 2+2 or 3+1. For 3y, you can do 3*y.

Explanation:

Answer 2

24y - 32

Explanation:

You take the 8 and multiply each term by in the parentheses by 8, so

8(3y - 4) becomes 8 * 3y - 8 * 4 = 24y - 32
