Answer:

Explanation:

(-3)(-2)(-5). When multiplying negative numbers, a negative multiplied by a negative gives a positive result. So, (-3)(-2)(-5) can be simplified as (3)(2)(5), which equals 30.

Next, let's simplify the second part: (-8)(6). Multiplying -8 by 6 gives -48.

let's add the two simplified parts together: 30 + (-48). When adding a positive number and a negative number, we subtract the smaller number from the larger number and use the sign of the larger number. In this case, 30 is larger than -48, so we subtract 48 from 30 and keep the negative sign, resulting in -18.

Therefore, the simplified expression (-3)(-2)(-5) + (-8)(6) equals -18.
