We want to multiply the monomial
by the monomial
.
Remember that to multiply monomials we need to use the laws of exponents; in this case, the law for multiplying powers with the same base. The rule says that, when you multiply powers of the same base, you just need to add the exponents:
,
. Also, is worth pointing out that the exponent of a variable with no exponent is 1:
.
Remember that we also need to multiply their coefficients , which are the numbers that multiply the variables; again, variables with no numbers have a coefficient of 1, so
. Multiply coefficients is easy, you just need to multiply them as you usually do with everyday numbers.
Let's apply all of that to our multiplication:

We can conclude that 2x times x squared is 2x cubed.
It would just be -14 still
Answer:
Option b is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given condition : Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is five times the number.
Here, the number is x
The quotient of a number x and twelve is expressed as , 
Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is expressed as, 
Five times the number mean, 
Therefore, we have an equation in the form of <em>x</em> from the given condition as:
.
Change in level is given by :
C = increase in level - decrease in level.
Now,
Decrease in level in March is 2 1/4 = 9/4 inches.
Increase in level in April is 1 5/8 = 13/8 inches.
Putting value of these in above equation, we get :
C = 13/8 - 9/4
C = 13/8 - 18/8
C = -5/8 inches
Therefore, the overall level after April will decrease by 5/8 inches.
Hence, option 4. is correct.
Answer:
16 spoonfuls
Step-by-step explanation:
Round off the 1 1/8 oz spoon capacity to 1 oz. Then divide 16 oz by 1 oz, obtaining the estimate 16 spoonfuls.
