A

Only if you are in Khan

OR other wise

(-5 x 3) - 8k

x is times

Answer 2

-8k - 15

Explanation:

5(-2k-3)+2k

At first, we will break the parenthesis. To break that, we will multiply the value inside the parenthesis by the adjacent number, that is 5. Again, we have to consider the Algebraic operation (Golden rule) -

[(-) x (-) = (+); (+) x (-) = (-)]

Therefore, since there is a minus sign in each of the value inside the parenthesis, the result will be minus as 5 is a positive integer.

or, -5*(2k) - (5*3) + 2k

or, -10k - 15 + 2k

or, -8k - 15 (after the deduction)

The answer is = -8k - 15
