According to the distributive property, multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number will give the same result as multiplying each addend individually by the number and then adding the products together., it is =a (b+c) =ab+ac
1) -6( a+8)
using distributive property
-6(a+8)= -6*a +(-6)*(8)
-6(a+8)=(-*+) (6*1)+(-*+)(6*8)
-6(a+8) = -6*a +(-6)*8
-6(a+8) =-6a -48
