Hello!

So, here you want to do the distributive property.

Start on the left side of the + sign...

-3*u = -3u

-3*3 = -9

So we now we have:

(-3u + -9) + 4(4u + 2)

Now we focus on the right side of the + sign...

4*4u=16u

4*2=8

So now we have:

(-3u + -9) + (16u + 8)

Now you want to combine like terms. Start by adding terms with the same variable. So, we need to add -3u and 16u

-3u + 16u = 13u

Now we have:

13u + -9 + 8

Now add the constants, -9 + 8

-9 + 8 = -1

So, the simplified expression would be:

13u - 1 or 13u + -1
-3u-3+16u+8
Combine like terms
13u+5 I believe ;)
