Let's simplify the expression step by step:
Given expression:
\[ -4(7b + 3) + 24b - 8 \]
- Distribute \(-4\) into \((7b + 3)\):
\[ -4 \cdot 7b - 4 \cdot 3 = -28b - 12 \]
So, the expression becomes:
\[ -28b - 12 + 24b - 8 \]
- Combine the \(b\) terms:
\[ -28b + 24b = -4b \]
- Combine the constant terms:
\[ -12 - 8 = -20 \]
So the final simplified expression is:
\[ -4b - 20 \]
The correct answer is: −4b−20 (negative 4 b minus 20).
