To simplify the expression \( 6n - 8(n + 4) \), we will distribute the \( -8 \) to both terms inside the parentheses:
1. Distribute:
\[
6n - 8(n + 4) = 6n - 8n - 32
\]
2. Combine like terms:
\[
6n - 8n = -2n
\]
So,
\[
-2n - 32
\]
Thus, the simplified expression is:
\[
-2n - 32
\]
1. Distribute:

6n - 8(n + 4) = 6n - 8n - 32
