Gene and Dixie, husband and wife (ages 35 and 32), both work. They have an adjusted gross income of $95,000 in 2017, and they are filing a joint income tax return.

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.

Imade the graphics for all of them so check which one is the same as in your pic
