Answer 1

To expand the expression \(-76(3g + 2)\), you'll need to distribute \(-76\) across the terms inside the parentheses.

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

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

Now combine these results: \[ -76(3g + 2) = -228g - 152 \]

None of the provided responses exactly match this expansion. However, the correct answer is: \[ -228g - 152 \]
