Timothy and Kathy are planning a party together. They go to the Party Store to see what the supplies will cost. They see that paper plates come in a variety of package sizes and costs. For example, packages with 10 plates cost $2.50. Packages of 50 plates cost $7.50. Packages of 200 places cost $20.

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.
