Multiplying
When simplifying an expression involving multiplying and dividing it can often be helpful to write out the expression in full first.
Remember when multiplying the order doesn't matter.
- a2 × a3 = a × a × a × a × a = a5
- 3a2 × a = 3 × a × a × a = 3a3
- 2x2 × 5x = 2 × x × x × 5 × x = 10x3
