Simplify. You may use the properties to help: -6(-2p + 3q − 6s)

Question

anonymous · Answer

-6(-2p + 3q − 6s) = (-6)*(-2)p + (-6)*(3)q - (-6)(-6)s
                                 Whatever this simplifies to that is your answer.

Ok, So what is (-6)*(-2)p = ? , multiply the numbers

anonymous · Answer

If you don't know how to multiply sign numbers use a calculator.
(-6)*(-2)p = 12p

anonymous · Answer

(-6)*(-2)p + (-6)*(3)q - (-6)(-6)s = 12p + (-18)q - 36s
                                                   = 12p -18q-36s is your answer.

Suggestion: If you are struggling with this you definitely need to go over multiplication, addition, subtraction and division of sign numbers with your instructor. Because, this is one of the foundation principles of mathematics, if you don't understand this you will have difficulty understanding other concepts in math.
