1. Distribute the -8 to the terms inside the parentheses:
7f + 18 - 8(3) + 8f
(Used the distributive property)
2. Simplify the expression by combining like terms:
7f + 18 - 24 + 8f
(Used the associative property)
3. Combine the like terms:
15f - 6
4. Final equivalent expression in simplest form: 15f - 6
