-10
First multiply the numbers and you get 10. Now multiply signs. One is positive since it is not there and the other is negative. + times - is always -. + times + is +. - times - is +
Now if you really are asking -5^2 then that is the same as -5 * -5 or 25.

when two numbers are beside each other like that, you must multiply them.
Multiplying negative five by two gives you negative 10
-5 * 2 = -10
(-5)2 = -10

You mean (-5)^2=25 ANS.
If it is (-5)*2, then it is=-10.

If you mean a minus five times 2 then the answer is minus 10
If you mean a minus five squared, then the answer is twentyfive.

-10 because a minus times a plus is a minus.
