Explanation:

Step1: Multiply coefficients

For part a, $2\times4 = 8$, for part b, $11\times8=88$.

Step2: Add exponents of $x$

For part a, $2 + 7=9$, for part b, $9+5 = 14$.

Step3: Add exponents of $y$

For part a, $1+1 = 2$, for part b, $3 + 6=9$.

Answer:

a. $a = 8$, $b = 9$, $c = 2$
b. $a = 88$, $b = 14$, $c = 9$
