Original Problem: -2(x-2y-3). I'm assuming your teacher wants you to simplify this by distributing.

Simplified Final Answer: -2x+4y+6

Step by Step Explanation:

The -2 on the outside of the parenthesis is going to be multiplied by EVERY term inside the parenthesis. So that means we will have
-2 times x = -2x
-2 times -2y = (-2 times -2)y = +4y = 4y
-2 times -3 = +6 = 6

So after we distribute the -2 through to the terms inside, we get this final answer -2x+4y+6 since we would then add up the products we got beforehand.
