Question

Simplify the following expression by combining like terms:



`-7\left(n+3\right)-8\left(1+8n\right)-6m`

Answer 1

To simplify the expression, we multiply each term inside the parentheses with the coefficient outside the parentheses.

Starting with the first term:

-7(n+3) = -7n - 21

Next, the second term:

-8(1+8n) = -8 - 64n = -8 - 64n

Finally, we have the term -6m.

Combining all the simplified terms, we have:

-7n - 21 - 8 - 64n - 6m

Simplifying further, we can combine the like terms -7n and -64n:

-71n - 29 - 6m
