Answer

-2 (8u - 1) = -16u + 2

Step-by-step explanation

The distributive property allows us to expand brackets using the number outside the bracket. So,

-2 (8u - 1)

= -2 × (8u - 1)

The distributive property then allows us to say

-2 × (8u - 1)

= (-2 × 8u) - (-2 × 1)

= -16u - (-2)

= -16u + 2

Hope this Helps!!!
