(I'll give brainliest and a free thanks) Apply the distributive property to produce an expression equivalent to `5(8+q)`.

40+5q

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property is multiplying each number inside the parentheses by the number outside the parentheses.

For example: a(b+c) would be ab+ac

Knowing that all you have to do now is multiply:

5x8=40

5xq=5q

Put them together and you get 40+5q!

I hope this helps, and have a great day! :)
