Jeffries recipe for an oatmeal muffins calls for ^2 1/4 cups of oatmeal and makes one dozen muffins if he makes two dozen muffins for a club meeting and 1 1/2 doesn't muffins for family reunion how much oatmeal will he use​

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.
