Using PEMDAS sequence rule, combine the individual terms.

$- 6 - 10 b$ $-6 - 10b$

$10 + 2 (- 8 - 5 b)$ $10+2(-8-5b)$

Distributive property of multiplication across the parentheses:

$= 10 + 2 \times (- 8 - 5 b)$ $=10 + 2 xx (−8 − 5b)$

$= 10 - 16 - 10 b$ $=10 - 16 − 10b$

Combine like terms:

$= - 6 - 10 b$ $=-6 - 10b$

$2 (- 5 b - 3)$ $2(-5b-3)$

$10 + 2 (- 8 - 5 b)$ $10+2(-8-5b)$

$:.=10-16-10b$

$:.=-6-10b$

$:.=2(-3-5b)$

$:.=2(-5b-3)$

How do you simplify 10+2(-8-5b)10+2(−8−5b)10+2(-8-5b)?
