Multiplication is fairly simple: all you need to do is multiply the like terms first and multiply your products.
1.First, let's take the constants (the numbers). The two numbers are 3 and -6. Be careful and always remember to take the negative sign. Multiplying them, we have:ultiply the like terms first and multiply your products.
(3)*(-6)=-18
2.Now, let's take the second pair of like terms: with the variable x.
Multiplying x with x4, we have:
(x)(x4)=x5
Remember, that when the bases are equal, powers can be added up! So,
(x)(x4)=(x1)(x4)=x1+4=x5
3. Now, multiplying the third pair: with the variable y.
Multiplying y5 with y2, we have:
(y5)(y2)=y5+2=y7
Thus, by multiplying all three products, we get:
(18)(x5)(y7)=18x5y7
