The correct answer is: [A]: " - 8d +<span> 3 " .
_________________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________________
Note the "distributive property" of multiplication:
_________________________________________________________
a(b + c) = ab + ac ;
</span> a(b − c) = ab − ac .
_________________________________________________________
We are given the expression:
_________________________________________________________
" - (8d − 3w) " ; and are asked for the simplified expression;
Consider this as:
" -1 (8d − 3w) " ;
The "1" (in this case, "-1" ; since the "negative" sign is already present; is "implied" ; since any value, multiplied by "1", results in that very same value.
So, using the "distributive property of multiplication" ; as explained above ;
→ " -1 (8d − 3w) = (-1 * 8d) − (-1 * 3w) ;
= - 8d − (-3w) ;
= - 8d + 3w ; → {since "subtracting a negative" is the
same thing as "adding a positive"};
This answer corresponds to: "Answer choice: [A]: " - 8d + 3w " .

An additional note of interest:
______________________________________________________
Another simplified form of the expression would be: " 3w − 8d " ;
HOWEVER, this is <u><em>NOT</em></u> among <em><u>ANY</u></em> of the answer choices given.
Note: Consider our answer choice: " [A]: " - 8d + 3w " ;
Note: " - 8d + 3w = 3w + (- 8d) = " 3w − 8d " ;
→ {since "adding a negative" is the same as "subtracting a positive" .}.

So; note that:
___________________________________________________
→ " - (x − y) = (y − x) " .

The coyote in Mesoamerican cultures can represent a trickster and to beware of the negative side of things but by its playfulness it also suggests one should lighten up about life and not take things so seriously. From personal experience with coyotes seeing them consisting of skin and bone after a hard winter in southern Canada makes one sympathetic to them but feeding them is not wise as they may bite you when you offer them food.</span></span>
