The coach of a local basketball team says that her team scored 40 points in the first game and 60 points in the second game. what precent of the first game score is the second game score

I think it would be 4/6 simple reducing factors  

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.
