Sorry for speaking so quickly, there is a very small error in your answer...think about the question about the product of two negatives above and revise your answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3x+2y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You're on the right track.
For the x terms, we get 6x-3x, which is equal to 3x
For the y terms we get -3*-2y, which would equal 6, but is that six positive or negative?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3x+6y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or 3x-6y

Right, its one of those two answers. In this case, since you are multiplying two negatives (3 and 2) the result will be positive 6. So the answer 3x+6y would be the correct one in this case.
