In Jenny's homework assignment, she was asked to find the product of (-2x3y) and (3x3y4)2 using the properties of exponents and order of operations. While checking her answer, Jenny discovered that she made a mistake in one of the steps. Work through simplifying the expression step by step and compare your steps with Jenny's.

(-2x3y)(3x3y4)2

step one: (-2x3y)(9x6x6y8)
step two:(-2x · 9)(x3 · x6)(y · y8)
step three: (-18)x18y8
In paragraph form, use the properties of exponents and order of operations to explain to Jenny how to correctly find the product: (-2x3y)(3x3y4)2.
