Here we will do more than give you the solution to 8x × 55x. 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, 8 and 55 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:
8 × x × 55 × x =
So now you can multiply what are the same. You can multiply the coefficients together and the x variables together as follows:
8 × 55 = 440
x × x = x2
Then you put the answers together and make the multiplication sign invisible again to get the following answer:
8x × 55x = 440x2
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:
8x × 55x2 = 440x3
8x × 55x3 = 440x4
8x × 55x4 = 440x5
8x2 × 55x = 440x3
8x2 × 55x2 = 440x4
8x2 × 55x3 = 440x5
