Multiplication of Algebraic Terms
The expression in the image shows the multiplication of two algebraic terms: -2a and 3bc.
When multiplying these terms together, you can multiply the numerical coefficients and the variables separately:
The numerical coefficients are -2 and 3. When you multiply them, you get -2 * 3 = -6.
The variable parts are a and bc. When you multiply variables, you get their product. In this case, a * bc = abc (since variables are generally written in alphabetical order).
Therefore, the product of -2a and 3bc is -6abc.
