Question

Easton simplified the following expression:

(x^2y^6z^5)(x^4y^5z^3)

If he writes his answer in the form of xaybzc, what is the value of b, the exponent on y?

Answer 1

can you write this question more clearly? it's VERY vague

Answer 2

Is it this?\[\large (x^2y^6z^5)(x^4y^5z^3)\]And you need it to look like this? \[\large x^ay^bz^c\]
Just use the rule of exponents for like terms that says:\[\large a^x*a^y=a^{x+y}\]

Answer 3

I dont need help with this anymore! but thanks anyways guys!
