anonymous · Answer

I got that the area is (3x-2y)(3x-3y)

kropot72 · Answer

You need to multiply out your expression. Can you do that?

anonymous · Answer

3x*3x-3y and -2y*3x-3y right

anonymous · Answer

9x^2-9xy and -6xy+6xy

anonymous · Answer

is this right so far

anonymous · Answer

correction on -6xy+6xy = -6xy+6y^2

kropot72 · Answer

9x^2 - 6xy and -9xy + 6y^2

anonymous · Answer

how id you do that did you use the foil method

kropot72 · Answer

3x(3x - 2y) + (-3y(3x - 2y)) = 9x^2 - 6xy + (-9xy + 6y^2) = 9x^2 -15xy + 6y^2
