Question

Two times the product of x and y

Answer 1

Answer:

2(xy)

Step-by-step explanation:

You don't know the values of the variables x and y so just write it as xy(which means x times y). Put parentheses around xy to show that x and y should be multiplied first before being multiplied with the 2.

Answer 2

Answer:

2(xy)

Step-by-step explanation:

since we don't know what the value of x and y is we just write it this way....

"2 times x and y" is basically 2 multiplied by x and y..in simple forms you can say twice the number x and y..we also multiply x and y first then with the product of x and y we multiply it with 2.
