To expand the expression \(-5(2q + 8)\), you can distribute \(-5\) to both terms inside the parentheses:
\[
-5(2q) + (-5)(8)
\]
Calculating each term:
\[
-5 \cdot 2q = -10q
\]
\[
-5 \cdot 8 = -40
\]
Putting it all together, we have:
\[
-10q - 40
\]
So, the expanded form of \(-5(2q + 8)\) is:
\[
-10q - 40
\]
\[
-5(2q) + (-5)(8)
\]
