A because -6 x -3 is 18 and -2 x -5 is 10 x -6 is -60 so -60 + 18 = -42

Simply substitute x for -3 and y for -5, creating the equation shown below:

-6 (-3 - 2(-5) )
Now that you have your values set up, now you can do the math by starting off with Multiplying -2 by -5, which will get you 10.

Now that you have the parenthesis simplified in the parenthesis, you can use the distributive property by multiplying all the numbers with -6, like so:
-6(-3+10)= 18 - 60, which simplifies to -42, in which (A) is your answer.
