Answer:

Of the ones listed, in the way they are written, the answers are x²y – 3x and 6y² – y.

Step-by-step explanation:

A monomial is a constant, a variable, or the product of constants and variables. A binomial is the sum or difference of two monomials.

The first option, xy, is a monomial. There is only one, so it is not a binomial.

The second one, x²y-3x, is the difference of two monomials; this means it is a binomial.

The third one, 6y²-y, is the difference of two monomials; this means it is a binomial.

The last one, y²+4xy-x², is the sum and/or difference of at least three monomials (there is a plus at the end that makes me think there is more to it). This means it is a trinomial, not a binomial.

Answer: B, C, and E.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since all three show the characteristics found in a binomial then these three are your answers. Plus I just did it on Edge.
