To lease a new car you must make a down payment when you sign the lease then pay $199 per month six months after signing his lease mr. scott had paid $2694 right and solve an equation to find the total amount he will have paid after three years

The answer is b: step 2.

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.
