160x^2+120x

Explanation:

Via the distributive property, you can multiply the single term, 5x8 by the two terms individually that are being added.

(4x+3)(5x8)=(5x8)(4x)+(5x8)(3)

Multiply the integers and then the variable (use exponent laws).

160x^2+120x

As the exponents of the variables are different, it cannot be simplified any further.
