Explanation:
We must ensure that each term in the second bracket is multiplied by each term in the first bracket. This can be achieved as follows.
#(color(red)(8b+6))(b-5)#
#=color(red)(8b)(b-5)color(red)(+6)(b-5)# now distribute the brackets.
#=8b^2-40b+6b-30# collecting like terms gives.
#8b^2-34b-30#
