Now im stuck i need to distrubute the minus sign threw out the parenthesis by changing the signs to there oppisites but i dont know if like for example where it says -2x^2 i know i change that to 2x^2 but then theres 2y^2 and i dont know if im suppsosed to change the sign of that or is that just one term and i leave it alone because my next step is to seperate and combine like terms anyways im confused if you could please help. </SPAN>\n" );
