Expand −56(9b−12). Fill in the blanks to complete the expanded expression. (1 point)

Answer 1

To expand the expression \(-56(9b - 12)\), we distribute \(-56\) to both terms inside the parentheses:

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

Calculating both products, we get:

\[ -504b + 672 \]

So, the expanded expression is:

\[ -504b + 672 \]

You can fill in the blanks as follows:

• The first term is −504b.
• The second term is +672.

Thus, the completed expanded expression is \(-504b + 672\).
