#10y+6y^2#

#"multiply each term in the bracket by "-2y#

#color(red)(-2y)(-5-3y)#

#=(color(red)(-2y)xx-5)+(color(red)(-2y)xx-3y)#

#=10y+6y^2#

#10y + 6y^2#

To simplify the expression #-2y(-5-3y)#

We would use the distributive property to multiply the term outside the parenthesis with each term inside of the parenthesis.
