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

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

  2. Simplify inside the parentheses: \[ 3(2) = 6 \] \[ 2(5) = 10 \] So we have: \[ 10(6 - 10) \]

  3. Now, calculate \( 6 - 10 \): \[ 6 - 10 = -4 \]

  4. Finally, multiply by 10: \[ 10(-4) = -40 \]

Therefore, the value of the expression is \(-40\).

The correct response is: -40
