Answer 1

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

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

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

Now, combine the results: \[ 15 + 55g \]

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

So the expanded form of \(-5(-3 - 11g)\) is: \[ 55g + 15 \]

The correct response is: 55g + 15
