The given expression is (2x - 3y)^6 (since ² translates to a superscript of 6). Substituting x = 3 and y = -1, we get (2*3 - 3*(-1))^6 = (6 + 3)^6 = 9^6 = 531441. However, none of the options match this result, indicating a potential misunderstanding or typo in the question or options. Based on the provided options, none directly match the correct calculation, suggesting a possible error in interpreting the original question or in the provided options.
