Question

Simplify to create an equivalent expression. 8(10 - 6q) + 3(-7q- 2) Choose 1 answer:

Answer 1

Answer: -69q+74

Step by step:
1. Use distributive property.

8⋅10+8(−6q) + 3(−7q − 2)

Multiply 8 • 10 then -6 • 8

80 - 48q + 3(-7q - 2)

2. Use distributive property again.

80 - 48q + 3(-7q - 2)

Multiply -7 • 3 then 3 • -2

80 - 48q -21q - 6

3. Simplify

Subtract 6 from 80 then subtract 21q from -48q.

-69q + 74


8(10 - 6q) + 3(-7q - 2) = -69q + 74
