Answered by GPT-4o mini
To simplify the expression \( 6(4y + 8) - 2y \), follow these steps:

1. Distribute the 6 into the parentheses:
\[
6 \times 4y + 6 \times 8 = 24y + 48
\]

2. Now, rewrite the expression:
\[
24y + 48 - 2y
\]

3. Combine like terms (\(24y\) and \(-2y\)):
\[
(24y - 2y) + 48 = 22y + 48
\]

Thus, the simplified expression is:
\[
\boxed{22y + 48}
\]
