Question

Javier is evaluating the expression (-8)[10 + (-5) + (-8)]

Multiplying the numbers 10, -5, and -8 by a certain number and then adding the three products together will give Javier the fully simplified evaluated expression. What is that number?

Answer 1

we have that
(-8)*[10 + (-5) + (-8)]

step 1
Multiplying the numbers 10, -5, and -8 by (-8)
[-8*10]+[-8*-5]+[-8*-8]
[-80]+[40]+[64]

step 2
adding the three products together
[-80]+[40]+[64]=24

therefore

the answer is
the number is (-8)
