The coefficients in the equation (-x)(3y)(-2x) are the constants -1, 3, and -2.

In order to simplify and determine only one coefficient we should multiply all three constants together to get only one numerical constant .

The commutative law says hat you can rearrange a multiplication any way you want. so, (-1)*3*(-2)=(-3)*(-2)=6

The equation can be also simplified written as:

6x^2y
