Question

Simplify -2x x 3x x -x

Answer 1

Answer:

2x

Step-by-step explanation:

i think this is correct, I'm not 100% sure that it is because the question was a little confusing.

Answer 2

ANSWER:

It would be 6x^3.

PRIOR NOTE:

For this question, it's slightly unclear regarding the formatting with it, but in here I'm going to assume that you've asked what is:

-2x * 3x * -x

when simplified. If it was something else, then the final answer would be different.

BACKGROUND:

To start, when multiplying two terms together, the variable will become squared or to the second power. For example:

2x * 2x = 4x^2

PROCESS:

With this question, it is asking for -2x * 3x * -x, though lets just start with the -2x * 3x part:

-2x * 3x = -6x^2

Now, finishing it off with the * -x part.

-6x^2 * -x = 6x^3

It goes to the third power, because now you have multiplied 3 x's together. The answer is also now positive since a negative * a negative = a positive.

With this, the final answer is 6x^3.
