Perform the multiplication, using the F.O.I.L. method, substitute -1 for $i^2$ , and then combine like terms.

Multiply the F irst terms:

$(2 -2i)*(-3 + 3i) = -6$

Multiply the Outside terms:

$(2 -2i)*(-3 + 3i) = -6 + 6i$

Multiply the I nside terms:

$(2 -2i)*(-3 + 3i) = -6 + 6i + 6i$

Multiply the Last terms:

$(2 -2i)*(-3 + 3i) = -6 + 6i + 6i - 9i^2$

Substitute -1 for $i^2$ :

$(2 -2i)*(-3 + 3i) = -6 + 6i + 6i - 9(-1)$

$(2 -2i)*(-3 + 3i) = -6 + 6i + 6i + 9$

Combine like terms:

$(2 -2i)*(-3 + 3i) = 3 + 12i$

I hope that this helps.
