Question

@mathstudent55 I'll post it here

Answer 1

The 3 at the end is supposed to be an exponent, my bad

Answer 2

No problem,I understand it.

Once again, do it one step at a time.
First, what is -12 * (-2) ?

Answer 3

I think I have the answer though

Answer 4

Ok, what did you get?

Answer 5

I think the answer is \[24m ^{3}n ^{2}\]

Answer 6

24 is correct, and n^2 is correct.
m^3 is incorrect.
Remember, m is the same as m^1

Answer 7

Wait, in theses type of problems do we add or multiply the exponents?

Answer 8

We add the exponents.
Keep in mind that m is m^1, so
m * m^3 = m^1 * m^3.
Now you add the exponents.

Answer 9

oh so it'll be m^4

Answer 10

Right.
Answer is \(\Huge \color{red} {2} \color{purple}4 \color{green}{m}^\color{orange}{4}\color{brown}{n}^\color{indigo}{2}\)
