Example Question #11 : Algebraic Concepts

Simplify the expression:

\displaystyle 16q*5q

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 80q

\displaystyle 11q^2

\displaystyle 54q

\displaystyle 21q^{2}

\displaystyle 80q^{2}

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 80q^{2}

Explanation:

The commutative property lets us reorganize the expression.

\displaystyle 16q*5q=16*q*5*q=16*5*q*q

By separating the whole numbers and the variables, we can easily multiply.

\displaystyle 16*5=80

\displaystyle q*q=q^2

\displaystyle 16*5*q*q=80*q^2=80q^2

\displaystyle 16q*5q=80q^{2}

Answer: \displaystyle 80q^{2}
