Answer 1

To expand the expression \(-58(3p + 8)\), you distribute \(-58\) to both terms inside the parentheses.

Here’s how the calculation breaks down:

\[
-58(3p) + (-58)(8)
\]

Calculating each term:

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

Putting it all together, the expanded expression is:

\[
-174p - 464
\]
