Use the distributive property to simply each expression.

Question

8(−4j+3)
32j + 24
32j - 24
-32j + 24
-32j - 24

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 8(-4j + 3) \) using the distributive property, we multiply 8 by each term inside the parentheses.

1. Distribute 8 to \(-4j\): \[ 8 \times -4j = -32j \]

2. Distribute 8 to \(3\): \[ 8 \times 3 = 24 \]

Now, combine the results: \[ 8(-4j + 3) = -32j + 24 \]

So, the simplified expression is: \[ \boxed{-32j + 24} \]
