2 (3 y - 4) <- Complete answer, but since you only have those choices it's

6 y - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

8 y - 2 (y + 4)

Hint: | Distribute -2 over y + 4.

-2 (y + 4) = -2 y - 8:

8 y + -2 y - 8

Hint: | Group like terms in 8 y - 2 y - 8.

Grouping like terms, 8 y - 2 y - 8 = (8 y - 2 y) - 8:

(8 y - 2 y) - 8

Hint: | Combine like terms in 8 y - 2 y.

8 y - 2 y = 6 y:

6 y - 8

Hint: | Factor out the greatest common divisor of the coefficients of 6 y - 8.

Factor 2 out of 6 y - 8:

2 (3 y - 4)

d. all of the above
