Answer:

28 -16n

Explanation:

Use the distributive property, then collect terms.

4 +8(-2n +3)

= 4 +8(-2n) +8(3)

= 4 -16n +24

= 28 -16n

_____

This could also be written

-16n +28

but then the leading sign would be negative. Sometimes leading minus signs get lost, so I prefer the first term to be positive.
