To expand the expression \(-76(3g + 2)\), we need to distribute \(-76\) to both terms within the parentheses.

  1. Multiply \(-76\) by \(3g\): \[ -76 \cdot 3g = -228g \]

  2. Multiply \(-76\) by \(2\): \[ -76 \cdot 2 = -152 \]

Now, putting it all together: \[ -76(3g + 2) = -228g - 152 \]

Thus, the expanded expression is: \[ -228g - 152 \]
