To expand the expression −58(3p + 8), you distribute −58 to both terms inside the parentheses:

\[ −58(3p) + (−58)(8) \]

Calculating each term:

  1. \(−58 \times 3p = −174p\)
  2. \(−58 \times 8 = −464\)

Now, combine the results:

\[ −174p − 464 \]

So the expanded form of −58(3p + 8) is:

\[ −174p − 464 \]

It seems like none of the given options exactly match this result, but the correct expansion is:

−174p − 464
