Answer 1

It's B

-10 + 6

Explanation:

Here, we gotta use the distributive property.

the -2 will distribute to the 5, which will make the -10

then, the -2 will also distribute to the -3 (the minus is the negative) which will make the 6

So, that should give you the -10 + 6, which is B

hope this helped :)

Answer 2

• 
  `\boxed{\sf{B.-10+6}}`

Explanation:

Use the distributive property.

Distributive property:

→ A(B+C)=AB+AC

→ -2(5-3)

Multiply.

→ -2*5=-10

→ -2*3=-6

Rewrite the problem down.

→ = -10+6

• Therefore, the correct answer is B. -10+6.
