We are given the following expression:


\mleft(-3\mright)\mleft(-5+\mleft(-8\mright)\mright)=n

First, we will solve the expressions inside the parenthesis:


(-3)(-5-8)=n

Now we have two terms that have the same sign, therefore, we add them together and the result will have that sign, that is:


(-3)(-13)=n

Now we have the product of two negative number, therefore, we multiply them together and the result will have a positive sign:


39=n

Therefore, n = 39.
