Answer:

[tex]\frac{9x}{2}[/tex] - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

8.5x - 2(2x + 8)

Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by 2x+8.

8.5x - 4x - 16

Combine 8.5x and −4x to get 4.5x.

4.5x - 16

= [tex]\frac{9x}{2}[/tex] - 16
You must distribute first so -2•2x=-4xand -2•8=-16
So expanded form is 8.5x•(-2•2x)+(-2•8)
