An unremoveable advertisement to "give a sheep" may be blocking part of your question, on my computer. All I can see uncovered is (-x)(3y)(-2x) = 6 x^2y
The coefficient of that would be 6
I agree. The ads are intrusive when they cut into individual posts, whether students' questions or teachers' responses.
I use Firefox so I don't have to see the ads!!
yes i konw it does that but let me try again

To simplify (-x)(3y)(-2x), you need to multiply the coefficients together and combine the variables.
Step 1: Multiply the coefficients: -1 * 3 * -2 = 6
Step 2: Combine the variables: (-x)(-x) = x^2, and (3y) remains the same.
Therefore, the simplified expression is 6x^2(3y).
Since the question asks for the coefficient of the simplified expression, the answer is 6 (option d).
