Are you allowed to use a calculator for this?

igreen · Answer

You distribute -5 into the parenthesis, which is to multiply it to all terms.

So which one multiplies -5 to both 6 and  11?

anonymous · Answer

Ya ^ that's what you're supposed to do first

igreen · Answer

No, not exactly..It only multiplies it to 6..then you add 11..it doesn't multiply to 11, so it's incorrect.
