There you go ^

@ArifL Can you explain to me how you got that answer? And is (6g^2 times g) + (6g^2 times -8) the answer?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no, it not the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it the first step

So what is the next step?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
just finish it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@phi
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@ArifL 12g^2 + (-8) is that correct?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah, sorry im not that good at teaching

no it 6g^3-48g^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Can you explain to me how that is the answer?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How is it 6g^3 ? How does the exponent change?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[a ^x \times a^y= a ^{x+y}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it just count if it is the same variable

@ArifL If you're adding the exponents shouldn't it be 6g^4 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[6g^2\times g^1\]

\[a ^x \times a^y= a ^{x+y}\]
\(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\)
look at the exponent rule provided by arifl
when we multiply same bases we should `add` their exponents
OpenStudy (anonymous):
6g^2 (g - 8)
= (6g^2 times g) + (6g^2 times -8)
= 6g^3 - 48g^2 is that in standard form?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yep

just that is good
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how would i explain it, u just need to multiply it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@MrNood can u help us?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@Nnesha can u help us again?
Nnesha (nnesha):
yes ?

it's distributive property
multiply each term in the parentheses by outside ter m
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@Nnesha THANK YOU!!
Nnesha (nnesha):
hmm yw??
Nnesha (nnesha):
|dw:1444849945587:dw|
just like arif mentioned
multiply each term by outside term :=))
