Answer 1

To expand the expression \(-5(-3 - 11g)\), we can use the distributive property:

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

Calculating each term:

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

Putting it all together:

\[ 15 + 55g \]

We can also write it in standard form:

\[ 55g + 15 \]

So the correct response is:

55g + 15
