-6(b+2) + 8
1. Distribute -6 inside the parentheses.
-6b-12 + 8
This means that the first option (-6b+2+8) can't be a possible answer because 2+8 = 10, while -12+8 = -4.
Simplify this expression by combining the like terms, -12 and 8. After combining you get -4, and -6b-4 is an option, so that means that your answer will be -6b-4.
Answer is:
-6b-4
