Answer: 40x-24y
Step 1: Rewrite equation
8(5x-3y)
Step 2: Distribute
Distribution in math is when you multiply the number on the outside (8) with both numbers in the inside (5x;-3y). Let’s do this now.
8(5x-3y)
40x-24y
This is your final answer! It can no longer be simplified, as y and x are different variables.
