Expand 3/8(−8−3y).(1 point)
To expand 3/8(−8−3y), we can distribute the 3/8 to each term inside the parentheses:
3/8 * -8 = -24/8 = -3
3/8 * -3y = -9/8y
Therefore, the expression expands to:
-3 - 9/8y
are you sure
Apologies for the confusion. Let's correct the expansion.
To expand 3/8(-8 - 3y), we distribute 3/8 to each term inside the parentheses:
3/8 * -8 = -(3/8 * 8) = -(24/8) = -3
3/8 * -3y = -(3/8 * 3y) = -(9/8)y = -9/8y
Therefore, the expression 3/8(-8 - 3y) expands to:
-3 - 9/8y
