Question

distribute and combine like ter -7(2x - 8) + 8

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute -7

Multiply -7 with each term inside the parentheses: $-7\times2x + (-7)\times(-8)$
Which gives: $-14x + 56$

Step2: Combine like terms

Now add the +8 from the original expression: $-14x + 56 + 8$
Combine the constant terms (56 and 8): $56 + 8 = 64$
So the expression becomes: $-14x + 64$

Answer:

$-14x + 64$
