-6 (b+2) + 8

1. Distribute - 6 inside the parentheses.

-6b-12 + 8

This means that the first option (-6b+2+8) can't be a possible answer because 2+8 = 10, while - 12+8 = - 4.

Simplify this expression by combining the like terms, - 12 and 8. After combining you get - 4, and - 6b-4 is an option, so that means that your answer will be - 6b-4.

Answer is:

-6b-4
