We'll break up this problem into two parts:

-(1/3)(-6y) = 2y, and (3x)(-3)(-1) = 9x


The overall answer is the product of these two: 9x*2y, or 18xy.

Multiply. Note that -(1/3) = -1/3

(-1/3)(-6y) = (6/3)y = 2y

(3x)(-3) = -9x

(2y)(-9x)(-1) = -18xy(-1)

Multiply

-18xy(-1) = 18xy

18xy is your answer

hope this helps
