Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-8 (x - 3y - 9) = distribute the -8 through the parenthesis

-8x + 24y + 72

this is the distributive property....u are distributing the -8 through the parenthesis...what that means is ur multiplying -8 by everything in the parenthesis....you do this to remove the parenthesis
