To expand the expression \(-5(-3 - 11g)\), we can distribute \(-5\) to both terms 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: \[ 15 + 55g \]

Since we typically write expressions in standard form (with the variable term first), we may rearrange this to: \[ 55g + 15 \]

Therefore, the correct expanded expression is: \[ \boxed{55g + 15} \]
