Answer 1

To expand the expression \( 38(-8 - 3y) \), we distribute \( 38 \) to both terms inside the parentheses.

1. First, distribute to \(-8\): \[ 38 \times -8 = -304 \]

2. Next, distribute to \(-3y\): \[ 38 \times -3y = -114y \]

Putting it all together, we have: \[ 38(-8 - 3y) = -304 - 114y \]

Rearranging the terms, we can write it as: \[ -114y - 304 \]

However, since the provided options do not exactly match this form, let's summarize the outcome based on standard interpretation:

The correctly expanded form of \( 38(-8 - 3y) \) is: \[ -114y - 304 \] None of the available options directly match this form, but no other clarification is necessary regarding the process of distribution carried out. Please select the option that may be closest based on context or additional information.
