−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:
\[
15 + 55g
\]

Rearranging gives:
\[
55g + 15
\]

Therefore, the expanded expression is \(55g + 15\).

So the correct response is:
**55g + 15** (55 g plus 15).
