9xy + 6xy - 2xy
13xy is the answer. THey are all like terms so just add then subtract.

Hi there!

To find our answer we need to collect the terms of the expression.


9xy + 6xy - 2xy = \\ 15xy - 2xy = \\ 13xy

The coefficient (which is the number just before the variable) of the simplified expression is 13.
