In equations like this, you could use PEMDAS- Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction in that order. Since there are no parentheses or exponents you can go to multiplication. Since x=9 and y=6, you multiply x(9) and y(6) to get 54. Now you can add since there is no division or subtraction involved. 54+ u(2) = 56. So u + xy = B. 56
