Factored binomial joint pmf

Let the random vector (X,Y)(X,Y) have the joint probability mass function f(x,y)={(10x)(5y)(14)x−y+5(34)y−x+10,x=0,1,…,10;y=0,1,…,50,otherwisef(x,y)=\begin{cases}\dbinom{10}{x}\dbinom{5}{y}\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{x-y+5}\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)^{y-x+10},&x=0,1,…,10; y=0,1,…,5\\0,&\text{otherwise}\end{cases} Let Z=Y−X+10Z=Y-X+10. If α=E(Z)\alpha=E(Z) and β=Var⁡(Z)\beta=\operatorname{Var}(Z), then 8α+48β8\alpha+48\beta is equal to __________.
