$5 v - 5 (- 8 - 6 v) = 35 v + 40$ $5v-5(-8-6v)=color(blue)(35v+40)$

$5 v - 5 (- 8 - 6 v)$ $5v-5(-8-6v)$

Apply the distributive property by multiplying $- 5$ $-5$ times the expression inside the parentheses, then simplify.

$5 v + 40 + 30 v$ $5v+40+30v$

Simplify by combining like terms.

$35 v + 40$ $35v+40$
