Answer: 

Example Question #1262 : Hspt Mathematics

Simplify:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Begin by moving all of the related variables (and constants) next to each other. You can group these in parentheses to make it clear. This is allowed because of the associative rule for multiplication.

 

When multiplying variables of the same type, you add their exponents together. This gets you:

Example Question #32 : How To Multiply Variables

Simplify:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Distribute the outside term into the parentheses. Multiply each term in parentheses by :

Now, for each member, move the similar variables into separate groups. You can do this because of the associative rule for multiplication:
