Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.
negative 4 left parenthesis 6 x minus 8 y right parenthesis
-4(6x - 8y)
To use the distributive property to remove the parentheses from the expression "-4(6x - 8y)", you need to multiply -4 by both terms inside the parentheses.
-4(6x - 8y) = -4 * 6x - 4 * (-8y)
= -24x + 32y
Therefore, after applying the distributive property, the expression becomes "-24x + 32y".
