Answer 1

Answer:

B, C,

Step-by-step explanation:

A - This is addition. Finding a product refers to multiplication, so this is not correct.

B - This is multiplication of 5x × 5y, exactly two factors, so this is correct.

C - This is multiplication of (x-y) × (x+y). Each equation inside the parenthesis equals one factor, so this is multiplication of exactly two factors. This answer is also correct.

D - This is multiplication of three factors, x × y × z, and is not correct.
