To expand the expression \( 38(-8 - 3y) \), we use the distributive property:

\[
38(-8) + 38(-3y)
\]

Calculating each part:

1. \( 38 \times -8 = -304 \)
2. \( 38 \times -3y = -114y \)

Putting it all together, we get:

\[
-304 - 114y
\]

Now, let's check which of the responses matches our result. The final expression is equivalent to:

\[
-114y - 304
\]

However, it seems none of the responses directly match this. Let's clarify:

The expansion gives:

\[
-114y - 304
\]

There are no responses that accurately represent this final result, either in their values or forms. Please double-check the options provided or confirm if any are miswritten.
