55g+15

Answer 1

To expand the expression \(-5(-3 - 11g)\) using the distributive property, we multiply \(-5\) by each term inside the parentheses:

1. Multiply \(-5\) by \(-3\): \[ -5 \times -3 = 15 \]

2. Multiply \(-5\) by \(-11g\): \[ -5 \times -11g = 55g \]

Now combine these results: \[ -5(-3 - 11g) = 15 + 55g \]

This can be written as: \[ 55g + 15 \]

So the correct response is: 55g + 15.
