Enrique Horton · Answer 1

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Because when distrubuting first you distribute 2 (-5) which gives you - 10 and then you distribute 2 into 3 which is 2 (3) which gives you 6. So now you have - 10+6. So you can further simplify that into - 4. We get - 4 because - 10 + 6 is - 4. And the 4 is negitive because there are more negitives than positives.
