Respuesta :
I'm assuming your teacher wants you to distribute. If so, then you multiply the outer term 8 by each term inside (3a and 5). After that you add.
8 times 3a = 24a
8 times 5 = 40
So 8(3a+5) becomes 24a+40
We do not combine 24a and 40 as they are not like terms. So we leave 24a+40 as it is.
8(3a+5)= 24a+40 and just leave it at that
You take 8x3a and you get 24a and then 8x5 you get 40
You take 8x3a and you get 24a and then 8x5 you get 40
