use the distributive property to expand the following expression:

Question

-5(-3 - 11g)

Answer 1

To expand the expression \(-5(-3 - 11g)\) using the distributive property, we will distribute \(-5\) to both terms inside the parentheses:

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

Calculating each term:

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

Now, combine the results:

\[ 15 + 55g \]

So, the expanded expression is:

\[ 15 + 55g \]
