$- 8 (4 - w)$ $-8(4-w)$

Explanation:

" $-8$ $color(red)("-8")$ $times$ $color(blue)("times")$ $the quantity$ $color(green)("the quantity")$ $4$ $color(brown)("4")$ $decreased by$ $color(orange)"decreased by"$ $w$ $color(indigo)(w)$ "

Can be expressed as

$- 8 \times (4 - w)$ $color(red)(-8)color(blue)xxcolor(green)("(")color(brown)(4)color(orange)-color(indigo)wcolor(green)(")")$

The $- 8$ $-8$ can be distributed to simplify the expression further, but it's not necessary.

$- 32 + 8 w$ $-32+8w$
