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

Answer 1

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

1. Distributing \(-56\) to \(9b\): \[ -56 \cdot 9b = -504b \]

2. Distributing \(-56\) to \(-12\): \[ -56 \cdot -12 = 672 \]

Now, combining these results, the expanded expression is: \[ -504b + 672 \]

So, the completed expanded expression is: \[ -504b + 672 \]
