-15

Practice makes perfect
To evaluate the given expression for c=3, first, we should substitute 3 for c in the given expression.
-5c
-5( 3)
When multiplying real numbers, the product will be positive if the signs are the same and it will be negative if the signs are different. cc Same Sign & Different Signs (+)(+)=(+) & (+)(-)=(-) (-)(-)=(+) & (-)(+)=(-) In our case one number is negative and one is positive, so the product will be negative.
-5(3)
-5* 3
