To rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of $16 and an additional fee of $6 per hour. The chemistry club wants to spend at most $82 on renting the room. What are the possible numbers of hours the chemistry club could rent the meeting room?

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.
