OK, JR, thanks.  Sorry if I come across as picky, but you'll save yourself and potential helpers time if you'd please express the various math operations correctly.  "negative a squared" is typed in as -a^2 or $$-a^2$$.

Following the instructions for this math problem, would you please re-enter 

-7(-a 2)(-b 3)

properly?
