Norris bought each student in his class a book from the book fair for Christmas. If he has 32 students and each book cost $2.75, how much did Mr. Norris pay for the books?

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.

It is a trinomial with a degree of 2 i believe
