-5(3x + 7) - 4(x - 4) + 11......Multiply out the parentheses:

-15x - 35 - 4x +16 + 11.......Collect the terms

-19x - 8

Remember that (-) x (-) = + and (-) x (+) = (-)

Instead of having the problem this way, look at it like this:

-5(3x+7) + -4(x-4) + 11

This will get you to -15x + 7 - 4x + 16 + 11.

Do the remaining math and you should end up with -19x-8.

-5(3x+7)= (-5)*3x + (-5)*7= -15x - 35
-4(x-4)= (-4)*x + (-4)*(-4)= -4x +16
+11

Sum it all up and you get

-15x + (-4x) -35 + 16 +11 = -19x -8

okay, so first you distribute

-15x-35 - 4x+ 16+11

then combine like terms

-19x-8 is your answer

hope i helped.
參考: i'm really good at math

simplify it more: -15x-35-4x+16+11
combine like terms: -19x-8
