Answer:

8y^2 + 8 - 8u^3

Explanation:

We know that:

According to the distributive property, multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number will give the same result as multiplying each addend individually by the number and then adding the products together.

So to remove the parentheses we need to multiply each addend individually (subtraction is also an addend).

Thus the solution will be:

(-4)(-2y^2) - (-4)(2) + (-4)(2u^3) do the multiplications

8y^2 - (-8) + (-8u^3)

8y^2 + 8 - 8u^3
