Answer: 6x² + 4xy + 2y

Explanation:

Polynomials are written in the order of the highest degree to the lowest degree.

  • x² has a degree of 2 because the exponent is 2 so it is the first term.
  • xy has a degree of 2 --> x has a degree of 1 and y has a degree of 1. The sum of their degrees is 2 so this is the second term.
  • y has a degree of 1 which is the lowest degree so it is the last term.
