[tex] \text{Step \: 1 \: : Distribute \: 5 \: through \: the \: parentheses}[/tex]
[tex] \mapsto{ \sf{5 \times 3x - 5 \times 4 - 8x}}[/tex]
[tex] \mapsto{ \sf{15x - 20 - 8x}}[/tex]
[tex] \text{Step \: 2 \: : Collect \: like \: terms}[/tex]
[tex] \sf{Like \: terms \: are \: those \: which \: have \: the \: same \: base.}[/tex]
[tex] \mapsto{ \sf{15x - 8x - 20}}[/tex]
