Answer 1

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

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

Calculating each term:

1. \(-5 \times 2q = -10q\)
2. \(-5 \times 8 = -40\)

Now, combine the results:

\[ -10q - 40 \]

So, the expanded form of \(-5(2q + 8)\) is:

\[ -10q - 40 \]
