-3 - 8 (-5x - 1) distributive property

5 +40x

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property:a*(b +c) =(a*b) + (a*c)

-3 - 8( -5x - 1) = -3 + (-5x)*(-8) + (-1) * (-8)

                     = -3 + 40x + 8

                     = -3 + 8 + 40x      {combine like terms}

                     = 5 + 40x
