Answer: Student X and Y

Explanation:

Student W started off correctly as they simplified the first expression and got rid of the parentheses.

Student Z also started off correctly as they simplified the second expression and combined the like terms.

I don’t see what students X and Y did as their first step but I hope this helps. Sorry if it doesn’t
