1 answer

To evaluate the expression \( 24 \cdot 11 - 5 \cdot 117 \), we need to perform the operations step by step.

  1. Calculate \( 24 \cdot 11 \): \[ 24 \cdot 11 = 264 \]

  2. Calculate \( 5 \cdot 117 \): \[ 5 \cdot 117 = 585 \]

  3. Subtract the second result from the first: \[ 264 - 585 = -321 \]

Thus, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{-321} \]
