Explanation

To calculate five times the number -8, you use multiplication, specifically multiplying -8 by 5. Multiplication here means you are taking the value of -8 and combining it five times, which scales the number up proportionally. Think of it as adding -8 five separate times: -8 + -8 + -8 + -8 + -8. Performing the operation -8 * 5 accomplishes this in a single step. The expression -40 captures this calculation, so when you substitute any value for -8, evaluating -8 * 5 will give you five times that original number.
