Find the product. Simplify your answer. -8(-2x^2 + 5) ______

Identify Expression: Identify the expression after using the distributive property. Distribute -8 to -2x^2 and 5. -8(-2x^2 + 5) = -8(-2x^2) + -8(5)Distribute -8: Simplify -8(-2x^2). Multiply -8 and -2x^2. -8(-2x^2) = 16x^2Simplify -8(-2x^2): Simplify -8(5). Multiply -8 and 5. -8(5) = -40Simplify -8(5): Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3. We found: -8(-2x^2) = 16x^2 -8(5) = -40 Now, combine these to get the simplified form of -8(-2x^2 + 5). -8(-2x^2 + 5) = 16x^2 - 40

-8(-2x^2 + 5)

Identify Expression: Identify the expression after using the distributive property. $\newline$ Distribute $-8$ to $-2x^2$ and $5$ . $\newline$ $-8(-2x^2 + 5) = -8(-2x^2) + -8(5)$
Distribute $-8$ : Simplify $-8(-2x^2)$ . $\newline$ Multiply $-8$ and $-2x^2$ . $\newline$ $-8(-2x^2) = 16x^2$
Simplify $-8(-2x^2)$ : Simplify $-8(5)$ . $\newline$ Multiply $-8$ and $5$ . $\newline$ $-8(5) = -40$
Simplify $-8(5)$ : Combine the results from Step $2$ and Step $3$ . $\newline$ We found: $\newline$ $-8(-2x^2) = 16x^2$ $\newline$ $-8(5) = -40$ $\newline$ Now, combine these to get the simplified form of $-8(-2x^2 + 5)$ . $\newline$ $-8(-2x^2 + 5) = 16x^2 - 40$
