Question

algebra: distribute and combine like\
1.) $8(9x - 10) - 8(2x + 1)$

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute the coefficients

$8(9x - 10) - 8(2x + 1) = 72x - 80 - 16x - 8$

Step2: Combine like x terms

$72x - 16x - 80 - 8 = 56x - 80 - 8$

Step3: Combine constant terms

$56x - (80 + 8) = 56x - 88$

Answer:

$56x - 88$
