Use the distributive property to expand the following expression: −5(−3−11g) (1 point) Responses −55g+15 negative 55 g plus 15 −55g−15 negative 55 g minus 15 55g+15 55 g plus 15 55g−15

1 answer

To expand the expression \(-5(-3 - 11g)\) using the distributive property, we multiply \(-5\) by each term inside the parentheses:

  1. Multiply \(-5\) by \(-3\): \[ -5 \times -3 = 15 \]

  2. Multiply \(-5\) by \(-11g\): \[ -5 \times -11g = 55g \]

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

So the expanded expression is \(55g + 15\).

The correct response is: 55g + 15
