Answer by rfer(16322) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
remember minus times a minus equals a plus
a plus times a plus equals a plus
a minus times a plus equals a minus
-3*+6=-18
-3*-p=+3p
therefore it equals
3p-18
Don't try to factor out the minus, that got you in trouble.
Just multiply what is thre.
