What is 10x times 5x?

10x × 5x = ?

Here we will do more than give you the solution to 10x × 5x. We will also explain and teach you how we came up with the answer, so you can understand it and solve similar problems in the future without help.

In this problem, 10 and 5 are the coefficients and two Xs are the variables. When a coefficient is next to a variable there is an invisible multiplication sign. So you could rewrite the problem as follows:

10 × x × 5 × x =

So now you can multiply what are the same. You can multiply the coefficients together and the x variables together as follows:

10 × 5 = 50

x × x = x²

Then you put the answers together and make the multiplication sign invisible again to get the following answer:

10x × 5x = 50x²

If you multiply two same variables with exponents, you simply keep the variable and add the exponents. Also x with no exponent is the same as x¹.

Here are some problems with answers that you should know based on what you learned on this page:

10x × 5x² = 50x³

10x × 5x³ = 50x⁴

10x × 5x⁴ = 50x⁵

10x² × 5x = 50x³

10x² × 5x² = 50x⁴

10x² × 5x³ = 50x⁵
