Answer:

2(4b-1)

Explanation:

1. You would have to distribute first. So basically you just multiply 4 · 2b which gives you 8b and then 4 · 2

Answer to first step: -10+8b+8

2. Add the numbers. It should be -10 + 8 which would give you -2

Answer to second step: -2 + 8b

3. Rearranging the terms. So, instead of doing -2 + 8b you would have to do 8b - 2

Answer to third step: 8b - 2

4. 2(4b - 1) Find what times what gives you 8 (not 1 times 8) and the same for -2

Hope this helped!
