To distribute the -7 across the expression inside the parentheses, you simply multiply -7 by each term inside the parentheses:
\[
-7(8x^2 + 6)
\]
Distributing -7:
\[
-7 \cdot 8x^2 + -7 \cdot 6
\]
Calculating each term:
\[
-56x^2 - 42
\]
So, the final result of the distribution is:
\[
-56x^2 - 42
\]
\[
-7(8x^2 + 6)
\]
Distributing -7:
