Distribute and Multiply: Distribute the multiplication across the terms.We have −2x5y2 multiplied by −14y2. When multiplying, we multiply the coefficients (numerical values) and add the exponents of like bases.−2×−14=28x5 remains unchanged as there is no other x term to combine with.y2×y2=y2+2=y4
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 1.Now we combine the coefficients and the variables with their new exponents to get the simplified expression.28x5y4
