Answer

17x+44y-18

Work Step by Step

The distributive property allows us to distribute anything multiplied by something inside of the parenthesis to whatever is inside of the parenthesis. Thus, we distribute the -6 to everything inside the parenthesis, giving us the expression -18+18x+42y+2y-x. We combine like terms to obtain the expression 17x+44y-18.
