Question

expand 3/8 (−8−3y)

Answer 1

wrong

Answer 2

To expand 3/8(−8−3y), we will distribute 3/8 to both terms inside the parentheses.

So, 3/8(−8) + 3/8(−3y).

First, let's calculate 3/8(-8):

3/8 (-8) = (-24)/8 = -3.

Next, let's calculate 3/8(-3y):

3/8 (-3y) = (-9y)/8.

Putting it all together, we have:

-3 + (-9y)/8 as the expanded form of 3/8(−8−3y).

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.

To expand 3/8(-8-3y), we will distribute 3/8 to both terms inside the parentheses.

So, 3/8(-8) + 3/8(-3y).

First, let's calculate 3/8(-8):

3/8 (-8) = -24/8 = -3.

Next, let's calculate 3/8(-3y):

3/8 (-3y) = -9/8y.

Putting it all together, we have:

-3 + (-9/8y) as the expanded form of 3/8(-8-3y).
