Expand. 3/8(-8-3y)

Answer 1

To expand the expression 3/8(-8-3y), we'll use the distributive property.

First, we'll distribute 3/8 to each term inside the parentheses:

(3/8)(-8) + (3/8)(-3y)

When we multiply 3/8 by -8, we get (-24/8) or -3.

When we multiply 3/8 by -3y, we get (-9/8)y.

Therefore, the expanded expression is -3 - (9/8)y.
