Solution Steps

To simplify the expression \(8 + 6(3c - 1)\), we need to follow these steps:

  1. Distribute the 6 to both terms inside the parentheses.
  2. Combine like terms.
Step 1: Distribute the 6

First, distribute the 6 to both terms inside the parentheses: \[ 6(3c - 1) = 6 \cdot 3c - 6 \cdot 1 = 18c - 6 \]

Step 2: Combine Like Terms

Next, add the constant term 8 to the result from Step 1: \[ 8 + (18c - 6) = 8 - 6 + 18c = 2 + 18c \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{2 + 18c}\)
