Training Memo: Simplifying the Billing Adjustment Formula

You are a Senior Operations Analyst training a junior clerk to process automated billing adjustments. One of the core formulas used by the system is 2y(4y2+3y5)-2y(4y^2 + 3y - 5). Explain, in your own words, the step-by-step procedure required to simplify this expression using the Distributive Property. Your explanation must clearly describe how you multiply the negative monomial by each of the three terms inside the parentheses and how you determine the final signs and exponents for the resulting polynomial.
