Answer:
-25
Step-by-step explanation:
Reading the expression:
We're given the sigma notation of a series.
[tex] \mathsf{ \sum _{k = 1} ^{5}(2k - 11) }[/tex]
The variable k is the "index of notation"
The expression can be read as the sum of (2k- 11) as k goes from 1 to 5.
"To generate the terms of a series given in sigma notation, successively replace the index of summation with consecutive integers from the first value to the last value of the index" ~internet

Generating the terms of the series:
To generate the terms of the series given on sigma notation above, replace k by 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 and add the terms, to get the answer to the given notation.
[tex]\mathsf{ \sum _{k = 1} ^{5}(2k - 11) } \\ = \mathsf{ \overline{2(1) - 11} + \overline{2(2) - 11} + \overline{2(3) - 11} } \\ \mathsf{ + \overline{2(4) - 11} + \overline{2(5) - 11}}[/tex]
[tex] = \mathsf{\overline{2 - 11} +\overline{4 - 11} + \overline{6 - 11} } \\ \mathsf{\overline{8 - 11} + \overline{10- 11}}[/tex]
[tex] = \mathsf{ - 9- 7 - 5 - 3 - 1}[/tex]
