Answer 1

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

1. Substitute the values of \( w \) and \( y \) into the expression:
\[
10(3(2) - 2(5))
\]

2. Calculate \( 3(2) \):
\[
3(2) = 6
\]

3. Calculate \( 2(5) \):
\[
2(5) = 10
\]

4. Substitute these values into the expression:
\[
10(6 - 10)
\]

5. Calculate \( 6 - 10 \):
\[
6 - 10 = -4
\]

6. Now multiply by 10:
\[
10(-4) = -40
\]

Therefore, the final evaluated expression is \(-40\).

The correct response is:
-40
