ok well do you know how to start the problem? If not ill explain
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It would be A. Take a close look at the parentheses, they should guide you.
Hope this helps!

OpenStudy (anx):
The distributive property states that
\[a(b+c)= ab + ac\]
In your case you have the equation -5(6 + 11)
So according you the property after distribution you'd have
a= (-5)
b = 6
c = 11
(-5)(6) + (-5)(11) CHOICE D.
It also evaluates to (-5)
