-8(-v) - 8(-3u) - 8(-5) = 88v + 24u + 40


When you multiply two factors of the same sign, the product is positive. When the signs differ, the product is negative.


5(9) = 45

-5(-9) = 45

5(-9) = -45

-5(9) = -45

No, because a negative times a negative gives you a positive. -8 is being multiplied by -v, -3u and -5, so the answer will be all positive terms.
