Answer:

-
3x^(2)

Explanation:

-x= -1x. (The 1 is invisible)

Now lets do the 3*-1= -3

You still have both of the x's.

All you do is add them. 1+1=2

So, your exponent is going to be 2 with x attached

***When you are multiplying and you have the same exponent, add them. Pretend that you see the exponent 1 by the x (
x^(1)) now since you have 2 (
x^(1) +x^(1)) which equals (
x^(2))

Looks Like:

3x* -x

=3x* -(1)x

=
-3x^(2)

Hope this helped :)
