Answer:: -0.3125 + q + 0.5

If our equation is: 10 + 4(-8q - 4) then we can simplify it in the next way:

first distribute the 4 with the content in the parentheses.

10 + 4(-8q - 4) = 10 -(8*4)q - 4*4 = 10 - 16 -32q = -6 -32q

now dependes on you, i like to put the negative sign outside a parenthesis:

-(32q + 6)

and this is your simplified equation, just give solve it. HOPES THIS HELPS
