Answer:
8n+16
Explanation:
Given the expressions:
[tex]40+8\left(n-3\right)[/tex]First, distribute 8 over the terms in the bracket:
[tex]\begin{gathered} =40+8(n)+8(-3) \\ =40+8n-24 \end{gathered}[/tex]Finally, collect like terms and simplify:
[tex]\begin{gathered} =40-24+8n \\ =16+8n \end{gathered}[/tex]An equivalent expression is 8n+16.
