Expand 3/8(−8−3y) .(1 point)
Responses
−3y+98
negative 3 y plus Start Fraction 9 over 8 End Fraction
−98y+3
negative Start Fraction 9 over 8 End Fraction y plus 3
−3y−98
negative 3 y minus Start Fraction 9 over 8 End Fraction
−9/8y−3
To expand 3/8(-8-3y), we apply the distributive property:
3/8 * -8 + 3/8 * -3y
This simplifies to:
-24/8 - 9/8y
Which can be further simplified to:
-3 - 9/8y
Therefore, the correct answer is:
−3 - 9/8y
