Answer:

Option D: -2x-10 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given expression is;

-2 (x+5)

We will solve the expression by multiplying -2 with the terms inside the brackets.

Therefore,

Multiplying -2 with the terms

-2*x + 5* -2

-2x + (-10)

-2x - 10

Hence,

Option D: -2x-10 is the correct answer.
