① | Multiply $ \color{blue}{8} $ by $ \left( -8u+5\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{8} \cdot \left( -8u+5\right) = -64u+40 $$ |
② | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left(-64u+40 \right) = 64u-40 $$ |
③ | Combine like terms: $$ 64u \color{blue}{-40} + \color{blue}{5} = 64u \color{blue}{-35} $$ |
