1. **State the problem:**
We are asked to identify which of the three distributed expressions is incorrect and to rewrite it correctly.
2. **Recall the distributive property:**
The distributive property states that for any numbers $a$, $b$, and $c$:
$$a(b + c) = ab + ac$$
3. **Check each expression:**
- First rectangle: $4(12w + 15)$
- Distribute 4:
$$4 \times 12w = 48w$$
$$4 \times 15 = 60$$
- Sum:
$$48w + 60$$
- Given answer: $48w + 60$ (Correct)
- Second rectangle: $6(3 + 2g)$
- Distribute 6:
$$6 \times 3 = 18$$
$$6 \times 2g = 12g$$
- Sum:
$$18 + 12g$$
- Given answer: $18 + 12g$ (Correct)
- Third rectangle: $7(9 - 8k)$
- Distribute 7:
$$7 \times 9 = 63$$
$$7 \times (-8k) = -56k$$
- Sum:
$$63 - 56k$$
- Given answer: $63 - 8k$ (Incorrect)
4. **Rewrite the incorrect expression correctly:**
$$7(9 - 8k) = 63 - 56k$$
**Final answer:** The third expression is distributed incorrectly. The correct distribution is:
$$7(9 - 8k) = 63 - 56k$$
