Expand 58(−8−3f) .(1 point)
To expand 58(-8-3f), we need to distribute the 58 to both terms inside the parentheses:
58(-8) + 58(-3f)
This simplifies to:
-464 - 174f
To expand 58(-8 - 3f), we will use the distributive property. The distributive property states that when a number is multiplied by a sum, we can distribute the multiplication to each term in the sum.
So, let's apply the distributive property:
58(-8 - 3f) = (58 * -8) + (58 * -3f)
First, multiply 58 by -8:
58 * -8 = -464
Next, multiply 58 by -3f:
58 * -3f = -174f
Now, substitute the values back into the expression:
58(-8 - 3f) = -464 + (-174f)
Simplifying the expression, we have:
58(-8 - 3f) = -464 - 174f
To expand the expression 58(-8-3f), we can use the distributive property.
When we distribute, we multiply each term inside the parentheses by the factor outside the parentheses.
So, let's distribute the 58 to both -8 and -3f separately:
First, distribute 58 to -8:
58 * (-8) = -464
Next, distribute 58 to -3f:
58 * (-3f) = -174f
Therefore, the expanded expression is -464 - 174f.
