use distributive property
a(b+c) = a*b+a*c

-3.5*2 is not 6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-9n
OpenStudy (crabbyoldgamer):
-3.5 * 3n is not 9n. You multiply the number times the number.

Let's try this..
\[\huge~\rm~ -3.5 \times 2=? \]
OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 times of - 3.5 =
pooja195 (pooja195):
Perfect now combine like terms
(10.5n+−2.5n)+(−7)
10.5-2.5=?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8
pooja195 (pooja195):
Good so we have 8n
