55g + 15

Answer 1

To expand the expression \( -5(-3 - 11g) \), follow these steps:

1. Distribute \( -5 \) to both terms inside the parentheses:

   \[ -5 \cdot (-3) + (-5) \cdot (-11g) \]

2. Calculate each multiplication:

   \[ -5 \cdot (-3) = 15 \] \[ -5 \cdot (-11g) = 55g \]

3. Combine the results:

   \[ 15 + 55g \]

Thus, the final result is:

\[ 55g + 15 \]

The correct response is:

55g + 15
