Explanation

To calculate five times the number -20, you use multiplication, specifically multiplying -20 by 5. Multiplication here means you are taking the value of -20 and combining it five times, which scales the number up proportionally. Think of it as adding -20 five separate times: -20 + -20 + -20 + -20 + -20. Performing the operation -20 * 5 accomplishes this in a single step. The expression -100 captures this calculation, so when you substitute any value for -20, evaluating -20 * 5 will give you five times that original number.
