The product of something means multiplying the terms together.
(2x+3) (4x^2-5x+6)
Secondly you need to distribute the terms to each other (Think of problems like FOIL)
2x * 4x^2 + 2x(-5x) + 2x * 6 + 3 * 4x^2 + 3(-5x) + 3 * 6
Then you must take into account that some of the numbers are negative. (minus-plus rules!)
2x * 4x^2 - 2x * 5x + 2x * 6 + 3 * 4x^2 - 3 * 5x + 3 * 6
Now is the tricky part of simplifying everything.
2x * 4x^2 = 8x^3
2x * 5x = 10x^2
2x * 6 = 12x
3 * 4x^2 = 12x^2
3 * 5x = 15x
3 * 6 = 18
8x^3 - 10x^2 + 12x + 12x^2 - 15x + 18
Then you group like terms.
8x^3 - 10x^2 + 12x^2 - 3x + 18
8x^2 + 2x^2 - 3x + 18
The trickiest part of this is distributing all of the terms within the parentheses, once you've done that, it's smooth sailing!
It would be the same you would already be dividing by 3 because it’s the denominator and the numerator is 2
To find our solution, we can start off by creating a string of 27 boxes, all followed by the letters of the alphabet. Underneath the boxes, we can place 6 pairs of boxes and 15 empty boxes.The stars represent the six letters we pick. The empty boxes to the left of the stars provide the "padding" needed to ensure that no two adjacent letters are chosen. We can create this -
Thus, the answer is that there are
ways to choose a set of six letters such that no two letters in the set are adjacent in the alphabet. Hope this helped and have a phenomenal New Year!

Since a fraction is a form of division, you do 21/2=10 and 1/2.
