Answer:

The answer is: 2v - 6u + 12

Explanation:

The negative 2, or -2, will be multiplied by each item:

-2(-v + 3u - 6) =

-2*-v + (-2*3u) + (-6*-2) =

2v - 6u + 12

The rule for multiplication is that all like signs are positive. So a negative times a negative is positive. All others are negative, such as a negative times a positive.
