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

  1. Substitute the values of \(w\) and \(y\) into the expression:

\[ 10(3(2) - 2(5)) \]

  1. Calculate the values inside the parentheses:

\[ 3(2) = 6 \] \[ 2(5) = 10 \]

  1. Now substitute these values back into the expression:

\[ 10(6 - 10) \]

  1. Calculate the subtraction:

\[ 6 - 10 = -4 \]

  1. Now multiply by 10:

\[ 10(-4) = -40 \]

Thus, the result of the expression is \(-40\).

The correct response is \(-40\).
