PLEASE HELP!! Will give medal!!!! Simplify. -(1/3)(-6y)(3x)(-3)(-1) A. –54xy B. –18xy C. 18xy D. 54xy

OpenStudy (kira_yamato):

My suggestion: Multiply all the constants together first

OpenStudy (karleighxxvictoria):

What do u mean @Kira_Yamato

OpenStudy (kira_yamato):

-(1/3)(-6y)(3x)(-3)(-1) = -(1/3)(-6)(3)(-3)(-1) (x)(y)

OpenStudy (kira_yamato):

I broke the coefficient and the algebraic terms? From there take them one step at a time

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Kira: Please let Karleigh finish this work. Thanks.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Sorry, but that's not true. "Combining" implies addition or subtraction.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Count the number of " - " signs. If that count is an even number, your answer will be +. If that count is odd, then your answer will be - .

OpenStudy (mathmale):

No, let karleigh respond himself or herself.

OpenStudy (karleighxxvictoria):
