When combining like terms, you could add and multiply. It depends on what the problem is. I am in 6th grade and currently learning algebra. I know that my answer is correct because I already learned this.


How do you multiply trinomials with binomials in algebra?

A binomial has two terms, while a trinomial has 3 terms. So both terms of the binomial will multiply each term of the trinomial (distribution property). After the multiplication you'll have 6 terms. Look for like terms, if there are, combine them.


How do you multiply and divide numbers with exponents?

If you have like terms then to multiply you add the exponents and to divide you subtract.So, x2 * x3 = x5 and y7 / y5 = y2Also, for example, 2x2 * x3 = 2x5 (we can do this as the terms are like; x's only)But if you do not have like terms then this does not apply.For example, x2 * y3 does not equal xy5.

How do you compute 5a x 3a?

Since they are like terms, 5a*3a=15a. Find out what "a" is equal to and multiply it by 15. Then, and only then, will you get your answer.


What is 4n plus 2 times 5n minus one?

20n2+6n-2 (4n + 2)(5n -1) This problem can be solved by FOILing. First, multiply the first terms to get 20n2 Next, multiply the outside terms to get -4n. Multiplication of the inside terms results in 10n. Combining -4n and 10n (they are like terms) is 6n. Then, multiply the last terms, to get -2. Combining these answers into one equation gives the answer of 20n2+6n-2.
