The answer is -16 + 19w
First distribute -8, then collect like terms and simplify.
-16 + 24w - 5w
=-16 + 19w

Answer,

= -16 + 19w

Explanation,

Distribute:

= (−8)(2) + (−8)(−3w) + −5w

= −16 + 24w + −5w

Combine Like Terms:

= −16 + 24w + −5w = (24w + −5w) + (−16)

= 19w + −16


Hope This Helps :-)
