You have to distribute the minus sign to the second parenthesis, changing the sign of every term:

Answers:
Wood Question: 860 millimeters
Heigh Question: 73 centimeters
Explanations:
Wood Question: You can get this result by doing 7.74/9 because you are dividing 7.74 meters into 9 pieces and you will get 0.86, AKA 86 centimeters. Then, you need to multiply that by 10 to convert it into millimeters and 86(10) is 860.
Height Question: First, you want to do 1.46/2 and you will get 0.73. 0.73 meters is equivalent to 73 centimeters, and since you know Jaxson is two times his sister's height, you know that you can leave it at that, therefore your final answer is 73 centimeters.

▹ Answer
<em>x = -7</em>
▹ Step-by-Step Explanation
-3x - 4(4x - 8) = 3(-8x - 1)
<u>Distribute</u>
-3x - 16x + 32 = -24x - 3
<u>Collect like terms</u>
-19x + 32 = -24x - 3
<u>Move variable to the left and change the sign</u>
-19x + 24x + 32 = -3
<u>Collect like terms</u>
5x = -3 - 32
<u>Calculate</u>
5x = -35
<u>Final Answer</u>
x = -7
