To use the distributive property, we need to multiply each term inside the parentheses by the number outside the parentheses. In this case, we have 10 as the number outside the parentheses, and we need to distribute it to both 5g and 8k.

First, we distribute 10 to 5g:

10 * 5g = 50g

Next, we distribute 10 to 8k:

10 * 8k = 80k

Now we can combine these two results to write the expression equivalent to 10(5g + 8k):

50g + 80k
