Help with math/algebra problem!?

The answer is supposedly 66, but I keep getting -66.... am I right or wrong? THANKS math friends!
-6 + 4(10b - 11) - 8(5b + 2)

It just needs to be simplified....

I got this:
-6 + 40b - 44 -40b -16

-6 - 44 -16 = -66

Thanks! I have the answer key, but it is photocopied, so maybe the - sign is too faint. Appreciate it!

-6 + (40b - 44) - (40b +16)

40b - 50 - 40b - 16


-66

I also arrive at -66. Perhaps the book answer is wrong, which does happen.

Impossible to solve this equation because it is incomplete.
