When it says (3x2), do you mean 3x^2, or literally just (3x*2) or (3x2)?

^2 srry

i say C

my session is about to time out.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem :) \[(2x)(7xy)+(3x^2)(7y)\] Remember PEMDAS; you always solve () first. However, since there's nothing in the (), we can assume they just mean multiplication. This is more important than addition, so we solve it first... \[14x^2y+21x^2y\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So sorry just saw that your session's about to time out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They have the same units, so 14+21=35 35x^2y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[35x^2y\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ty!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C is your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You were right :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem :) Any other questions?
