#ProblemCorrect AnswerYour Answer
1( - 3w -3 )( 2w ) =
Solution
( - 3w -3 )( 2w ) = -3w -32w 1
=( -32 )( w -3w 1 )
=-6w-3 + 1
=- 6w -2
#ProblemCorrect AnswerYour Answer
2( 3y )( 6y -4 ) =
Solution
( 3y )( 6y -4 ) = 3y 16y -4
=( 36 )( y 1y -4 )
=18y1 + -4
=18y -3

1( 10h -3 )( -h 5 ) =
Solution
( 10h -3 )( -h 5 ) = 10h -3-1h 5
=( 10-1 )( h -3h 5 )
=-10h-3 + 5
=- 10h 2
