Question

Simplify 3x times 4y

Answer 1

12
`x^(3)`y
`x^(4)`

Explanation:

When you multiply numbers with variable terms, each term has to be multiplied by like terms.

3
`x^(2)`y× 4×y
`x^(3)`

Separate the terms.

3 ·
`x^(2)` · y × 4 · x ·
`y^(3)`

Group the like terms and then multiply them.

( 3 x 4 ) (
`x^(2)` x
`x`) (
`y` x
`y^(3)`)

12 ·
`x^(3)` ·
`y^(4)`

12
`x^(3)`
`yx^(4)`

Hoped this helped :)

Answer 2

Hi! I’m pretty sure it would just be 12x or 12y because 3 x 4 is 12 and then you would just add the x or y. I hope this helped, Goodluck :)
