Solution Steps

Step 1: Distribute the monomial

Distribute the monomial 2 to each term inside the parentheses:

(2)(-2x² + x - 8) = (2)(-2x²) + (2)(x) + (2)(-8)

Step 2: Simplify each term

Multiply the coefficients of each term:

(2)(-2x²) + (2)(x) + (2)(-8) = -4x² + 2x - 16

Final Answer:

-4x² + 2x - 16
