Question

Expand −56(9b−12). Fill in the blanks to complete the expanded expression. (1 point)

Answer 1

To expand the expression \(-56(9b - 12)\), we distribute \(-56\) to both terms inside the parentheses:

\[
-56 \cdot 9b - (-56) \cdot 12
\]

Calculating both products, we get:

\[
-504b + 672
\]

So, the expanded expression is:

\[
-504b + 672
\]

You can fill in the blanks as follows:

- The first term is **−504b**.
- The second term is **+672**.

Thus, the completed expanded expression is \(-504b + 672\).
