To expand −5(−3 − 11g), we need to distribute the −5 to both terms inside the parentheses.
First, multiply −5 with −3:
−5 * −3 = 15
Next, multiply −5 with 11g:
−5 * 11g = −55g
Finally, putting it all together, we have:
−5(−3 − 11g) = −55g + 15
To expand the expression -5(-3 - 11g), we can apply the distributive property. The distributive property states that when you multiply a number outside of parentheses, you distribute that number to each term inside the parentheses.
First, we'll multiply -5 by -3:
-5 * -3 = 15
Then, we'll multiply -5 by 11g:
-5 * 11g = -55g
Putting it all together, the expanded expression becomes:
-55g + 15
