i don't get this because if the first box says XY how do i know what to multiply since those are LETTERS not NUMBERS so how do i solve it then?

Answer 4

Thank you for clarifying your confusion.

Your question asks which expression to use. It doesn't ask you to solve the problem with real numbers.

1) xy means two different unknown numbers multiplied together.

4) y + 2x + y means you add 2 times an unknown and 2 times another unknown.
