3p + 8

Answer 1

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**
