Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \(10(3w - 2y)\) when \(w = 2\) and \(y = 5\), follow these steps:

1. Substitute the values of \(w\) and \(y\) into the expression:

\[
10(3(2) - 2(5))
\]

2. Calculate the values inside the parentheses:

\[
3(2) = 6
\]
\[
2(5) = 10
\]

3. Now substitute these values back into the expression:

\[
10(6 - 10)
\]

4. Calculate the subtraction:

\[
6 - 10 = -4
\]

5. Now multiply by 10:

\[
10(-4) = -40
\]

Thus, the result of the expression is \(-40\).

The correct response is \(-40\).
