Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.

Question

4q x 5q^67

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 4q \times 5q^{67} \), follow these steps:

1. Multiply the coefficients: \[ 4 \times 5 = 20 \]

2. Combine the variables: Using the property of exponents \( q^1 \times q^{67} = q^{1 + 67} = q^{68} \).

3. Combine the results: \[ 4q \times 5q^{67} = 20q^{68} \]

The simplified expression is: \[ \boxed{20q^{68}} \]
