To simplify the expression 8u + 5v - 4(8u - 7v + 6w), we can apply the distributive property by multiplying -4 to each term inside the parentheses:
8u + 5v - 4 * 8u + 4 * (-7v) + 4 * 6w
Simplifying further:
8u + 5v - 32u + 28v + 24w
Combining like terms:
(8u - 32u) + (5v + 28v) + 24w
Simplifying again:
-24u + 33v + 24w
So, the simplified form of the expression is -24u + 33v + 24w.
