not sure, skylar, why you're multiplying. All I see are + and - signs. I get
2x-3y+z

- 2 x - y - 2 z + 4 x - 2 y + 3 z =
- 2 x + 4 x - y - 2 y - 2 z + 3 z =
2 x - 3 y + z

To simplify the expression -2x - y - 2z + 4x - 2y + 3z, we need to combine the like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same variables raised to the same power.
First, let's group the terms with the same variables together:
-2x + 4x - y - 2y - 2z + 3z
Combining the like terms with the variable x:
(-2x + 4x) - y - 2y - 2z + 3z
Simplifying further:
(2x - y - 2y - 2z + 3z)
Combining the like terms with the variable y:
2x - (y + 2y) - 2z + 3z
Simplifying further:
2x - 3y - 2z + 3z
Combining the like terms with the variable z:
2x - 3y - (2z - 3z)
Simplifying further:
2x - 3y - (-z)
To simplify the expression further, we can distribute the negative sign:
2x - 3y + z
So, the simplified expression is 2x - 3y + z.
