use the distributive property to remove the parenth
-9(-2x - 4y + 2)

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute -9 to -2x

$(-9) \times (-2x) = 18x$

Step2: Distribute -9 to -4y

$(-9) \times (-4y) = 36y$

Step3: Distribute -9 to +2

$(-9) \times 2 = -18$

Step4: Combine all terms

$18x + 36y - 18$

Answer:

$18x + 36y - 18$
