Distribute. Example: 2(x+1) = 2x+2

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
1	^-8(^-2a - 1) =
Solution Distribute ^-8 across ^-2a - 1 => ^-8(^-2a) - ^-8(1) ^-8 × ^-2 = 16 ^-8 × 1 = -8 16a - ^-8 => 16a + 8

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
2	^-6(2a + 4) =
Solution Distribute ^-6 across 2a + 4 => ^-6(2a) + ^-6(4) ^-6 × 2 = -12 ^-6 × 4 = -24 ^-12a + ^-24 => ^-12a - 24

Distribute. Example: 2(x+1) = 2x+2

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
1	^-3(a + 2b + 4) =
Solution Distribute ^-3 across a + 2b + 4 => ^-3a + ^-3(2b) + ^-3(4) ^-3 × 2 = -6 ^-3 × 4 = -12 ^-3a + ^-6b + ^-12 => ^-3a - 6b - 12

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
2	^-3(^-3a - 3b + 2) =
Solution Distribute ^-3 across ^-3a + ^-3b + 2 => ^-3(^-3a) + ^-3(^-3b) + ^-3(2) ^-3 × ^-3 = 9 ^-3 × ^-3 = 9 ^-3 × 2 = -6 9a + 9b + ^-6 => 9a + 9b - 6
