Question

Simplify: -8(b-k) - 3(2b + 5k)​

Answer 1

-14b + 3k

Explanation:

First we can divide the equation up:

(-8(b-k)) - (3(2b+5k))

Let's do distribution with the first parentheses:

-8b + 8k

Let's do distribution with the second parentheses:

6b+5k

Now we have:

(-8b+8k) - (6b+5k)

= -14b + 3k
