To evaluate [tex]\(-3(-10)\)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. Identify the two numbers involved and their signs. Here, we have [tex]\(-3\)[/tex] and [tex]\(-10\)[/tex].
2. Recall the rule for multiplying two negative numbers: multiplying two negative numbers results in a positive number.
3. Multiply the absolute values of the numbers. The absolute value of [tex]\(-3\)[/tex] is 3, and the absolute value of [tex]\(-10\)[/tex] is 10.
4. Multiply these absolute values: [tex]\(3 \times 10 = 30\)[/tex].
5. Since both original numbers were negative, the result will be positive.
Thus, the result of [tex]\( -3(-10) \)[/tex] is [tex]\( \boxed{30} \)[/tex].
