Expand −5(2q+8)

Question

.(1 point)

Answer 1

To expand the expression \(-5(2q + 8)\), you distribute \(-5\) to both terms inside the parentheses:

\[ -5(2q) + (-5)(8) \]

Now calculate each part:

\[ -5 \cdot 2q = -10q \] \[ -5 \cdot 8 = -40 \]

Putting it all together, the expanded expression is:

\[ -10q - 40 \]

So, the final answer is:

\[ -10q - 40 \]
