Answer: 12x+18y

Explanation:

First analyze the statement "two x plus three y." This means you are multiplying 2 x's, multiplying 3 y's, and adding the addends. So its 2x+3y. Then apply the statement "six times the quantity." This means you are taking the quantity found (2x+3y) and multiply by 6. So its 6(2x+3y). Finally apply distributive property theorem: a(b+c)=ab+ac. So its 6(2x+3y) = 12x+18y.
