Answer:
40w^(2)-28wx-24x^(2)


Explanation:

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

- First, you must apply the Distributive property. According the exponents properties (product of powers property), if you multiply powers with the same base, you must add the exponents. Then, you have:


(8w^(1))(5w^(1))+(8w^(1))(-6x^(1))+(4x^(1))(5w^(1))+(4x^(1))(-6x^(1))=40w^(2)-48wx+20wx-24x^(2)

-Finally, you must add like terms. Then, you obtain the following result:


40w^(2)-28wx-24x^(2)
