Answer 1

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

Here's how it's done:

\[ -56(9b) - 56(-12) \]

Now, calculate each term:

1. \(-56 \times 9b = -504b\)
2. \(-56 \times -12 = 672\)

Putting it all together, the expanded expression is:

\[ -504b + 672 \]

So, the final answer is:

\[ -504b + 672 \]
