= Calculating five times the number -2
= (-2 * 5)
= -10

Explanation

To calculate five times the number -2, you use multiplication, specifically multiplying -2 by 5. Multiplication here means you are taking the value of -2 and combining it five times, which scales the number up proportionally. Think of it as adding -2 five separate times: -2 + -2 + -2 + -2 + -2. Performing the operation -2 * 5 accomplishes this in a single step. The expression -10 captures this calculation, so when you substitute any value for -2, evaluating -2 * 5 will give you five times that original number.
