Answer 2

`-16x+22y` is your answer!

Explanation:

Simplifying

-5(8x + -2y) + -4(-6x + -3y)

(8x * -5 + -2y * -5) + -4(-6x + -3y)

(-40x + 10y) + -4(-6x + -3y)

-40x + 10y + (-6x * -4 + -3y * -4)

-40x + 10y + (24x + 12y)

Reorder the terms:

-40x + 24x + 10y + 12y

Combine like terms: -40x + 24x = -16x

-16x + 10y + 12y

Combine like terms: 10y + 12y = 22y

-16x + 22y
