Answer 1

To expand the expression \(-5(-3 - 11g)\), you distribute \(-5\) to both terms inside the parentheses:

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

Calculating each term:

1. \(-5 \times -3 = 15\)
2. \(-5 \times -11g = 55g\)

Putting it all together:

\[ 15 + 55g \]

Which can also be written as:

\[ 55g + 15 \]

So, the correct response is:

55g + 15 (or 55 g plus 15).
