Answer:

-60

Step-by-step explanation:

Yeah, of course!.

Step one: Breaking the problem into different problems is probably the best!

Step two: 4× (-1) is simple multiplication, any number multiplied by 1 is always the number. 4 multiplied by 1 is always 4, but there is a negative sign in front of the 1, so that means we have to go into the positive an negative rules, final answer is 4 for that step.

Then were going to ignore the multiplication sign for now.

Step three: (-3) times (-5) is 15 but we have to look at the rules of positives and negatives, a negative plus a negative is a positive. So its 15.

Step four: Multiply the two answers (4 times 15) is 60. Now were going to add our negative sign because a positive plus a positive number is a negative.

Hope this helped! :)
