Answer:

-40

Step-by-step explanation:

Try rearranging and factoring -8y-2c-2b-8x-2a:

This is equal to -8(x + y) -2(a + b + c).

Since x + y = 7, we have:

                            -8(7) -2(a + b + c)

and since a + b + c = 8, we end up with:

                             -56 - 2(8), or

                               -56 - 16    = -40
