Expand 38(−8−3y) .(1 point) Responses −3y+98 negative 3 y plus Start Fraction 9 over 8 End Fraction −98y+3 negative Start Fraction 9 over 8 End Fraction y plus 3 −98y−3 negative Start Fraction 9 over 8 End Fraction y minus 3 −3y−98

Answer 1

To expand the expression \(38(-8 - 3y)\), you need to distribute \(38\) to both terms inside the parentheses. Here’s how you do it step-by-step:

1. Multiply \(38\) by \(-8\):
\[ 38 \times (-8) = -304 \]

2. Multiply \(38\) by \(-3y\):
\[ 38 \times (-3y) = -114y \]

So, the expanded form of the expression \(38(-8 - 3y)\) is:
\[ -304 - 114y \]

Therefore, none of the provided responses correctly match the expanded form of the expression. The correct expanded form is:
\[ -304 - 114y \]
