Solution Steps

To simplify the given expression, we need to distribute the -7 across the terms inside the parentheses and then combine like terms.

Step 1: Distribute the Terms

We start with the expression: \[ 8 - 7(6y + 6) \] Distributing $-7$ across the terms inside the parentheses gives: \[ 8 - (42y + 42) = 8 - 42y - 42 \]

Step 2: Combine Like Terms

Next, we combine the constant terms: \[ 8 - 42 = -34 \] Thus, the expression simplifies to: \[ -34 - 42y \]

Final Answer

The simplified expression is: \[ \boxed{-34 - 42y} \]
