Answer 1

For this expansion problem, you need to distribute the -3 to 6h and 15. 

(-3)*6h+(-3)*15 Be careful with the negative sign: when you multiply a negative with a positive, you get a negative. Therefore, you get

-18h-45

Answer 2

You will use the Distributive Property with this problem, which means distrubting multiplication of the outer parenthetical factor to the inner parenthetical factors. Make sure you properly multiply positives and negatives. An odd number of negative factors will equal a negative answer. An even number of negative factors will equal a positive answer.

-3 * 6h = -18h

-3 * 15 = -45

Final Answer is -18h-45
