. Fill in the blanks to complete the expanded expression.(1 point)

Answer 1

To expand the expression \(-56(9b - 12)\), you apply the distributive property. This means you need to multiply \(-56\) by each term inside the parentheses:

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

Now, calculating each term:

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

Therefore, the expanded expression is:

\[ -504b + 672 \]

So, the completed expression is:

\(-504b + 672\)
