Ruth Pittman · Answer 1

8a-2 (7a-3)

Multiple the bracket by - 2

(-2) (7a) = -14a, (-2) (-3) = 6

8a-14a+6

-6a+6 or 6-6a

Answer: - 6a+6 or 6-6a

Leroy Hayes · Answer 2

-6a + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First distribute the - 2 to (7a - 3), which makes the expression, 8a - 14a + 6. Then all you need to do is add the like terms (8a and - 14a), which is - 6a.
