Pretend there is an invisible -1 in front of the parenthesis to distribute, then get rid of the parenthesis, then you can combine like terms.
= 5a - 1(8-a) +4a - 10
^-----^ <-- negative (-) times (x) a negative (-) equals positive = (+)
= 5a - 8 + a +4a - 10
^---------^----^ <--Combine like terms
= 5a +a +4a = 10a
= -8 -10 = -18
= 10a -18

Hope this helps!
