Dave's answer is correct while Haven's is not. The only problem with Havens is the common factor (-1) which should be factored out of her final answer............which is redundant cause she put it there in the first place.

So while both will FOIL out to give you your original trinomial, only Dave's answer is proper.

Nope. Remember that negative times negative is positive. It should be: (-2y-1)(-y+3)
