Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request in Swahili. Please answer in Swahili.

### Instruction:
In the spelling bee, Max has 5 points, Dulce has 3 points, and Val has twice the combined points of Max and Dulce. If they are on the same team and their opponents' team has a total of 40 points, how many points are their team behind?

### Response:
 Jumla ya alama za Max na Dulce ni 5 + 3 = <<5+3=8>>8.
Kwa hivyo, Val alipata alama 8 x 2 = <<8*2=16>>16.
Na jumla ya alama za timu yao ni 8 + 16 = <<8+16=24>>24.
Hivyo, timu yao iko nyuma kwa alama 40 - 24 = <<40-24=16>>16.
