Expand −56(9b−12)

Question

.(1 point)

Answer 1

To expand the expression \(-56(9b - 12)\), you need to distribute \(-56\) to both terms inside the parentheses.

1. Distribute \(-56\) to \(9b\): \[-56 \times 9b = -504b\]

2. Distribute \(-56\) to \(-12\): \[-56 \times -12 = 672\]

Now, combine these results:

\[ -56(9b - 12) = -504b + 672 \]

So, the expanded expression is:

\[ -504b + 672 \]
