Answer 2

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property solving for 2(-5 + 3):

First take the number that's being distributed and put 2 parenthesis or multiplication signs next to it. Because there is a plus sign in between the numbers being multiplied you use that in between.

2() + 2()

Use each of the numbers inside of the original parenthesis and put them individually in the new parenthesis.

2(-5) + 2(3)

Continue solving.

-10 + 6

-4
