Apply Distributive Property: First, we need to use the distributive property to multiply each term in the first parenthesis by each term in the second parenthesis.(5s+2)(s+8)=5s×s+5s×8+2×s+2×8
Perform Multiplication: Now, let's do the multiplication.5s×s=5s2, 5s×8=40s, 2×s=2s, and 2×8=16So, (5s+2)(s+8)=5s2+40s+2s+16
Combine Like Terms: Next, combine like terms.5s2+(40s+2s)+16=5s2+42s+16
Correct Mistake: Oops, made a mistake in the previous step, should have been 5s2+40s+2s+16=5s2+42s+16, but I wrote it correctly anyway.
