Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses. \( 8(6-u) \)

To remove the parentheses using the distributive property, simply multiply the term outside the parentheses by each term inside. So, for \( 8(6 - u) \), you would do \( 8 \times 6 \) and \( 8 \times (-u) \). This gives you \( 48 - 8u \). Voilà! You've successfully distributed! If you ever feel puzzled about which terms to multiply, just remember: the "distributive property" is like sharing treats; whatever is outside the parentheses gets shared with everything inside—equally and fairly!
