Answer:


\huge\boxed{8\ x\ 15}

Explanation:

According to the rules of PEMDAS, you may ignore the ten that precedes the parentheses, and look at the content of the parentheses only. Then, simply solve the multiplication from left to right.

Hope it helps :) and let me know if you want me to elaborate.
