    Since you don't have answer choices, I'll just assume you're trying to simply 2 (3g-4) - 8 (g+3).

    First you want to distribute the two to what is inside the parentheses and the 8 to what is inside it's parentheses:

    (3g*2 - 4*2) - (8*g + 8*3)

    (6g - 8) - (8g + 24)

    Then, distribute the negative to the (8g+24) to get rid of the parentheses. Most people forget this part and that leads to errors!

    6g - 8 - 8g - 24

    Finally, simplify:

    -2g - 32

    The expression is equivalent to - 2g-32.
