In the product of (2x - 3y + 1) and (3x + 2y +4) what is the coefficient of the xy - term?
You need to expand the brackets and then the number before xy is the coefficient. so it would be
6x2+4xy+8x-9xy-6y2-12y+3x+2y+4
The xy would simplify to
-5xy
so the coefficient of xy is -5
hope this helps, sry the reply is so late
