Rewrite in simplest terms: -5a – 8(-8a + 1)

Sagot :

The expression is given as

[tex]-5a-8(-8a+1)[/tex]

Step 1: Expand the parenthesis (-8a+1) by multiplying through by -8:

[tex]\begin{gathered} -5a\lbrack+64a-8\rbrack \\ \therefore-5a+64a-8 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Simplify the expression by collecting and solving like terms:

[tex]\begin{gathered} -5a+64a-8\text{ } \\ =59a-8 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the simplest term is 59a - 8
