Multiply vertically the extreme left digits is one pattern involved in multiplying algebraic expressions. Multiplying crosswise is another common pattern that is used.
Properties of operations, such as the commutative, associative, and distributive properties, can be used to manipulate expressions in ways that preserve their value while changing their form. By applying these properties systematically, one can generate equivalent expressions that are easier to work with or better suited to a specific problem. This can streamline the problem-solving process by simplifying complex expressions or rearranging terms to highlight patterns or relationships.
This would usually be written as:5n 5x 5a etc., i.e., 5, immediately followed by the desired variable.
These two are both similar because they are both expressions.
Expressions have to contain numbers and letters.
