Answer 1

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

1. Distribute \(-5\) to \(-3\): \[ -5 \times -3 = 15 \]

2. Distribute \(-5\) to \(-11g\): \[ -5 \times -11g = 55g \]

Putting it all together, we have: \[ -5(-3 - 11g) = 15 + 55g \]

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

Thus, the correct response is: 55g + 15 (or 55 g plus 15).
