To simplify the expression \(-8(7 - 3.2)\), let's go through the steps:

Step 1: Simplify inside the parentheses. \[ 7 - 3.2 = 3.8 \]

Step 2: Multiply by -8. \[ -8 \times 3.8 = -30.4 \]

Now, let’s fill in the steps.

Step 1: \(7 - 3.2\)

Step 2: \(-8 \times \text{(result from Step 1)}\)

Now for Question 2, the product is:

-30.4

So, your answers are:

  • Step 1: \(7 - 3.2\)
  • Step 2: \(-8 \times 3.8\)
  • Product: \(-30.4\)
