Answer:

-4, -4, 3, 8, 8

Explanation:

-4(5+(-2))=-4(5)+-4(-2)

This is because of the distributive property. You have to distribute the 4 to the 5 and the -2.

-4(3)=-20+8

This is because since both the 5 and the -2 are being multiplied by -4, you can combine the 5 and the -2 to get 3 and then multiply that by -4.

This means (-4)(-2)=8

This is because (4)(2)=8 and two negatives make a positive.
