// additional maths - surds and indices question

Hope this can help you :)

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.

$250 deductible means jane must pay the first $250 of her bill. so the insurance company paid = (80% of bill) - deductible = (0.8 x $2550) - $250 = $2040 - $250 = $1790 and jane's cost is = (bill) - (insurance payment) = $2550 - $1790 = $760
