Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the expression:

[tex]\frac{1}{4} [-5+5(-3)][/tex]

and asked to evaluate.

We must solve this expression according to PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction.

Solve inside the brackets first. Multiply 5 and -3.

5 * -3= -15

[tex]\frac{1}{4} [-5+-15][/tex]

Add -5 and -15.

-5+-15= -20

[tex]\frac{1}{4} [-20][/tex]

Finally, multiply 1/4 and -20, or divide -20 by 4.

1/4 * -20 = -5      OR       -20/4= -5

[tex]-5[/tex]

When evaluated, the expression 1/4 [ -5 +5(-3)] is equal to -5.

the answer is -5

first you multiply 5 and -3 to get -15.

next you add -5 and -15 to get -20.

the final step is to multiply 1/4 and -20 to get -20/4 which can be simplified to -5.

hope this helped!!
