Q. Perform the operation and simplify the answer fully.5x39⋅6xAnswer:
Multiply Fractions: Multiply the numerators and denominators separately.We have two fractions that we are multiplying together. When multiplying fractions, we multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together.(5x39)×(6x)=5x3×69×x
Combine Like Terms: Simplify the expression by combining like terms.In the numerator, we have 9 multiplied by x, which is 9x. In the denominator, we have 5x3 multiplied by 6, which is 30x3.So, (9×x)/(5x3×6)=(9x)/(30x3)
Reduce Fraction: Reduce the fraction by canceling common factors.We can see that both the numerator and the denominator have a common factor of x. We can cancel one x from the numerator and one x from the denominator. Also, we can simplify the coefficients by dividing both 9 and 30 by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.(9x)/(30x3)=(3x)/(10x2)Now cancel the x from the numerator and denominator.(3x)/(10x2)=3/(10x)
Write Final Expression: Write the final simplified expression.The expression is now fully simplified, and there are no common factors that can be canceled.The final simplified expression is 10x3.
