Answer:

-20

Explanation:

PEMDAS

Parentheses -> Exponents -> Multiplication -> Division -> Addition -> Subtraction

1.) First, we can rewrite this equation to make it easier to understand

5 x (-6 / -1 + - 10)

5(-6 / -1 - 10)

2.) Begin by dividing inside the parentheses

5(-6 / -1 - 10)

5(6 - 10)

3.) Solve

5(6 - 10)

5(-4)

-20

or

5(6 - 10)

5(6) 5(-10)

30 - 50

-20

Therefore, the expression equals -20.
