Answer 1

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the expression

$6x^2y-3+x^2y+2xy^2+2xy-6$

which both girls are given.

In this expression there are like terms:

• $6x^2y$ and $x^2y;$
• $-3$ and $-6.$

Combine the like terms:

$6x^2y+x^2y=7x^2y;$

$-3+(-6)=-9$

So,

$6x^2y-3+x^2y+2xy^2+2xy-6=7x^2y +2xy^2+2xy-9$

Correct option is A, Salina combined the $x^2y$ terms correctly, but then left $+x^2y$ term in her answer.
