use the distributive property to expand 3/8 (-8 - 2y)

1 answer

To expand 3/8 (-8 - 2y) using the distributive property, we'll distribute 3/8 to both terms inside the parentheses:

3/8 * -8 + 3/8 * -2y

Now, simplify each term separately:

-24/8 - 6y/8

Simplify further by dividing each term by 8:

-3 - (3/4)y

So, 3/8 (-8 - 2y) expands to -3 - (3/4)y.
