First multiply according to order of operations to get 6xy, and then see if there are like terms to be combined. In this case, there are not so the simplest form is 

A number is prime if it is divisible by only itself and one. Thus, if a number is divisible by anything else, it can't be prime. Of the answer choices, only 427 isn't prime, because it is divisible by 7.

To figure out which number is prime, one strategy you could employ is using your calculator and dividing each choice by 3, 7, 9, 11, and 13. Because all of the answer choices are odd, we know none of them will be divisible by 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10. Also, none of them have a 0 or 5 in the ones place, so they can't be divisible by 5. Thus, the best numbers to try would be 3, 7, 9, 11, and 13. When you divide 427 by 7, you will get a whole number. For all the other answer choices, when you divide by 3, 7, 9, 11, and 13, you will never get a whole number.

The answer is 427.

Recall that the product of a negative number and a positive number is a negative number. Thus, we know that our answer will be a negative number. We then consider the product of the numbers, ignoring the sign. We know that . Then, we have that our final answer is . 

We know that dividing a positive integer and a negative integer will give us a negative integer. We thus consider the numbers themselves, without the sign. 

Add a negative sign to find our answer is .

The word product indicates multiplication. Thus, we remember that when we multiply a positive number by a negative number we get a negative number.

When comparing negative numbers, it is important to remember that the numbers with the larger absolute value (greatest numerical term) are actually more negative. Though it seems that  would be the largest number in this case, it is actually the smallest, as it is the farthest down the number line in the negative direction. The greatest number is the one with the smallest absolute value, which is .

Remember, also, that zero is greater than any negative number!

An easy way to solve this problem is to define  as 1, which is an odd integer. Plugging in 1 into each answer yields  as the correct answer, since 

4 is an even integer, which is what we are looking for.

When comparing negative numbers, recall the number line. Numbers that are "more negative", or negative with a large absolute value, are really very small. Thus, comparing negative numbers can sometimes seem counterintuitive. In this case, since we are comparing two negative numbers, the number with the larger absolute value is actually the smaller number. Therefore, the greater number is .

Recall that when comparing negative numbers, those numbers that are "more negative" are actually further to the left on the number line and thus are smaller. Therefore, even though , we have that . 

Therefore  is larger. 

Find the least common denominator (LCD) and convert all fractions to the LCD.  Then order the numerators from the smallest to the largest

So the correct order from smallest to largest is
