6x^(2+5) y^(3+2) z^(4+3) =
6x^7 y^5 z^7

Answer: hello there!

we have the expression [tex](3x^2y^3z^4)(2x^5y^2z^3)[/tex] and we want to simplify it.

A useful equality is:

[tex]x^{a}x^{b} =x^{a+b}[/tex]

then the first thing we need to do is group the therms alike:

[tex](3x^2y^3z^4)(2x^5y^2z^3) = (3*2)(x^{2} *x^{5})(y^{3}*  y^{2})*(z^{3}  *z^{4})[/tex]

[tex]= 6x^{2+5}y^{3+2}z^{4+3}  =6x^{7}y^{5} z^{7} [/tex]

now we can simplify it a bit more using:

[tex]x^{a} y^{a}=(xy)^{a}[/tex]

[tex]6x^{7}y^{5} z^{7}= 6(xzy)^{7} y^{-2} =6\frac{(xyz)^{7} }{y^{2} }[/tex]
