multiply
(2-5b)(8+5b)
To multiply (2 - 5b)(8 + 5b), you can use the distributive property.
First, multiply 2 by 8:
2 * 8 = 16
Next, multiply 2 by 5b:
2 * 5b = 10b
Then, multiply -5b by 8:
-5b * 8 = -40b
Finally, multiply -5b by 5b:
-5b * 5b = -25b^2
Combining all the terms together, we have:
(2 - 5b)(8 + 5b) = 16 + 10b - 40b - 25b^2
Simplifying the equation further, we get:
16 - 30b - 25b^2
