Explanation:

what you typed in here must be wrong or incomplete.

what you typed is (with explicit multiplication symbols to make it clear)

10×x×2×y - 2

for x=-1 and y=-2

that shows then

10×-1 × 2×-2 - 2 = -10 × -4 - 2 = 40 - 2 = 38

but 38 is not in the answer options.

so, there must be something wrong with your problem description.
