Answer:

4x

Explanation:

Next time, please include ALL of the instructions. Thanks.

You can ease the work of finding the product of these two fractions by reducing first:

2x³ 14

------ * ------ reduces after cancelling x³ in the numerator and x² in the

x 7x denominator to:

2x 14

------ * ------

1 7

and 14/7 reduces to 2, giving us the final result:

2x 2

-------- * ------ = 4x (answer)

1 1

You could also just jump in and multiply, obtaining

28x³

----------

7x²

which quickly reduces to 4x
