Teresa needs to save 25.50 to go to the movies this weekend. She currently has $3. If Teresa makes 7.50 an hour babysitting how many hours does she need to babysit this week

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.
