Tammy completed the following steps to simplify the expression
-5x²y - 3xy² - 2(4y + 2) - 2.5x²y.

-5x²y - 3xy² - 2(4y) + 2(2) - 2.5x²y

-5x²y - 3xy² - 8y + 4 - 2.5x²y

(-5x²y - 3xy² - 2.5x²y) - 8y + 4

(-5 - 3 - 2.5)x²y - 8y + 4

-10.5x²y - 8y + 4

Explain why Tammy's solution is incorrect. Then show how to correctly simplify the expression.

Suppose there is a simple index of three stocks, stock abc, stock xyz, and stock qrs. stock abc opens on day 1 with 4000 shares at $3.15 per share. stock xyz opens on day 1 with 5000 shares at $4.30 per share. stock qrs opens on day 1 with 6000 shares at $4.60 per share. the price of stock abc on day 8 begins at $3.50. the price of stock xyz on day 8 begins at $3.90. stock qrs opens on day 8 with a price of $4.50 per share. assume that each stock has the same number of shares that it opened with on day 1. what is the rate of change of this simple index over 1 week?
