Answer:75

Step-by-step explanation:Hey there! So we know what to substitute for the letters. Our new equation should look like this: 5(-5)(-3). By using PEMDAS, we should first multiply 5 by -5, which is -25. Our equation now should look like this: -25(-3). Since they are right next to each other, you have to multiply them. When you multiply two negative numbers, they turn out to be positive. Your answer should be positive 75
