To expand the expression \(-5(2q + 8)\), use the distributive property:
\[
-5(2q) + (-5)(8)
\]
Calculating each term:
\[
-5(2q) = -10q
\]
\[
-5(8) = -40
\]
Now, combining the terms gives:
\[
-10q - 40
\]
Thus, the expanded form of \(-5(2q + 8)\) is:
\[
-10q - 40
\]
\[
-5(2q) + (-5)(8)
\]
Calculating each term:
\[
-5(2q) = -10q
