Answer 7

green did it correctly, but the usual (standard order) is to write the terms starting with the highest exponent first.

Answer 8

in other words, you can order the 4 terms in greens's answer any way you like.
but the standard way is to write the order this way
\[ 6x^3+3x^2y+2xy+y^2\]

Answer 9

that is alphabetical (so x goes first) biggest exponent down to smallest.
