9(-2j^2 - 5)

Identify and Distribute: Identify the expression and use the distributive property. $\newline$ Distribute $9$ to $-2j^2$ and $-5$ . $\newline$ $9(-2j^2 - 5) = 9(-2j^2) + 9(-5)$
Simplify $-2j^2$ : Simplify $9(-2j^2)$ . $\newline$ Multiply $9$ and $-2j^2$ . $\newline$ $9(-2j^2) = -18j^2$
Simplify $-5$ : Simplify $9(-5)$ . $\newline$ Multiply $9$ and $-5$ . $\newline$ $9(-5) = -45$
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step $2$ and Step $3$ . $\newline$ We found: $\newline$ $9(-2j^2) = -18j^2$ $\newline$ $9(-5) = -45$ $\newline$ Now, combine these to get the simplified form of $9(-2j^2 - 5)$ . $\newline$ $9(-2j^2 - 5) = -18j^2 - 45$
