I can't figure this problem out. 3x-2y if x=-2 and y=-6 3x - 2y In place of the x put (-2), and in place of the y put (-6). 3(-2) - 2(-6) Multiply the 3 by the (-2) and get -6, so put (-6) in place of the 3(-2) (-6) - 2(-6) Multiply the 2 by the (-6) and get -12, so put (-12) in place of the 2(-6) (-6) - (-12) Now change the subtraction - (-12) to an addition " + 12 ". (-6) + 12 Combine those and get 6 That's the answer, 6. Edwin
