Answer:

The answer will be: 243v^5

Since the numbers are in a parenthesis, the exponent applies to every number inside the parenthesis.

- You will first distribute the numbers

- Multiply -3 ^1 * 5 = -3^5

- Multiply v ^ 1 * 5 = v^5

- Once it is distributed, you will end up with -3^5v^5. However, you can still simplify the answer by solving -3^5 (-3 * -3 * -3 * -3 * -3) which equals -243. You can't simplify v^5 so your final answer will be 243v^5.
