Hey there!
-6(-3 - 8b) - 8
DISTRIBUTE -6 WITHIN the PARENTHESES
= -6(-3) - 6(-8b) - 8
= 6(3) + 6(8b) - 8
= 18 + 48b - 8
COMBINE the LIKE TERMS (if they are any)
= (18 - 8) + (48b)
(We could combine anything with “48b” because it didn’t have any like terms)
= 10 + 48b
= 48b + 10
Therefore, your answer should be: 48b + 10
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
