We have the following general rule for exponents:


a^n\cdot a^m=a^(n+m)

In this case, we can use the commutative property to multiply each factor with their respective common term. Then, we have the following:


5x^3\cdot2x^2=(5\cdot2)(x^3\cdot x^2)=10x^(3+2)=10x^5

therefore, the final expression is 10x⁵
