Expand −5(2q + 8)

To expand the expression \(-5(2q + 8)\), you distribute \(-5\) to both terms inside the parentheses:

\[
-5(2q) + (-5)(8)
\]

Calculating each term:

1. \(-5 \times 2q = -10q\)
2. \(-5 \times 8 = -40\)

Putting it all together, you get:

\[
-10q - 40
\]

So, \(-5(2q + 8)\) expands to \(-10q - 40\).
