Answer:
8x +6y -28
Step-by-step explanation:
The outside factor applies to each inside term, so the equivalent expression is ...
-8(-x -3/4y +7/2) = 8x +6y -28
Applying the distributive property once again, we can also write the equivalent expression ...
= 2(4x +3y -14)

There are an infinite number of other equivalent expressions. The problem statement is non-specific as to the acceptable form.
