EASY QUESTION- MEDAL

when doing basic algebraic expressions, how do you multiply variables? i.e. 3y * 5y

i am having the worst brain fart ever right now it is not even funny

Answer 1

first multiply 3*5

Answer 2

so its just 15y?

Answer 3

then multiply y*y = (y^1)(y^1)

Answer 4

Fairly certain it's
\[3y * 5y = 15y^{2}\]

Answer 5

Multiply the whole numbers together, then the variables.

Answer 7

then y^(1+!) = y^2

Answer 8

Because:
\[5 * 3 = 15\]
and:
\[y * y = y^{2}\]

Answer 9

I was getting to it @iGreen.

Answer 10

then the answer becomes 15 y^2

Answer 11

so 3*5 = 15 and y*y = y^2 so 15y^2?
