1 answer

To simplify the expression - 4(7b + 3) + 24b - 8, we can begin by expanding the parentheses:

- 4(7b + 3) + 24b - 8
= - 4 * 7b - 4 * 3 + 24b - 8
= -28b - 12 + 24b - 8

Next, we can combine like terms:

= (-28b + 24b) + (-12 - 8)
= -4b - 20

So, the simplified expression is -4b - 20.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. -4b - 20.
