Answer:

The correct answer is 48 - 18s.

Explanation:

To simplify this problem, we have to use the distributive property. To do this, we must multiply each term inside the parentheses by -6 (what is outside of the parentheses). This is modeled below:

-6(-8 + 3s)

= (-8 * -6) + (-6 * 3s)

Now, we can simplify what is inside the parentheses.

= 48 - 18s

Therefore, the correct answer is 48 - 18s.

Hope this helps!
