Answer 6

i got that...then i have 2x+y

Answer 7

no, then it would be like this:
\[2(x+y)\] you would do the parenthesis first: \[2(xy)\] then you would multiply them, thus the final answer is:\[(2xy)\]

Answer 8

so 2(x+y) for the first part and then (2xy) for the second part?

Answer 10

k... then what would i do for the complete sentences?

Answer 11
