Answer:

B. $-6b-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is $-6(b+2)+8$

Simplifying the expression now

Lets use distributive property of multiplication to solve it.

As given, $-6(b+2)+8$

Distributing -6 with b and 2.

= $(-6b-12)+8$

Opening the parenthesis

= $-6b-12+8$

= $-6b-4$

∴ As from the given options, $-6b-4$ is the correct choice.
