Expand -5(2q + 8). (1 point)

-10q - 40.

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

First, apply the distributive property by multiplying -5 with each term inside the parentheses:
-5(2q) + (-5)(8)

Now simplify each term:
-10q + (-40)

Thus, the expanded form of -5(2q + 8) is -10q - 40.

To expand the expression -5(2q + 8), you will distribute the -5 to both terms inside the parentheses. This means multiplying -5 by each term separately.

First, distribute -5 to the 2q term:
-5 * 2q = -10q

Next, distribute -5 to the 8 term:
-5 * 8 = -40

Now, combine the results to obtain the expanded expression:
-10q - 40

Therefore, the expanded form of -5(2q + 8) is -10q - 40.
