Question

What expressions are equivalent to -6(b+2)+8

Answer 1

Expressions: -6b - 4, and any other expressions equivalent to this expression

Explanation:

Apply the distributive property to -6 ( b + 2 ) such that:

-6 ( b + 2 ) =

-6b - 12

Afterwards add the 8 to the prior expression:

-6b - 12 + 8 (to get) =

-6b - 4

This is a satisfactory expression as it is in simplified form, thus making other expression that may be equivalent to the expression, a little easier.
