you just wannt go to be, do this http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=-%282u%2By%29-3%28-6y%2B2u%29 look at "alternate form" and have a good sleep

sleepyjess · Answer

Which that one is pretty easy since they are all positive to begin with, and we are only multiplying by -1. Pretty much with multiplying by -1, all you do is change the sign :)

anonymous · Answer

Use simple multiplication. To get -2u-y+18y-6u then algebraically simple to get 
-8u + 17y

anonymous · Answer

okay  I got (-2u-1y)(18y-6u)

anonymous · Answer

now use foil

sleepyjess · Answer

That is correct, other than that is multiplying instead of adding them together

sleepyjess · Answer

After distributing, it should be (-2u - 1y) + (18y - 6u). Now just drop the parentheses and combine like terms.

anonymous · Answer

-2u-6u+18y-1y
