See a solution process below:

To simplify using the distributive property, multiply each term within the parenthesis by the term outside the parenthesis:

$color(red)(-3rt)(-2t^2 + 3r) =>$

$(color(red)(-3rt) xx -2t^2) + (color(red)(-3rt) xx 3r) =>$

$6rt^3 + (-9r^2t) =>$

$6rt^3 - 9r^2t$

How do you simplify -3rt(-2t^2+3r)-3rt(-2t^2+3r)?
