5p to the 2nd power t + 3p to the 2nd power t = ?

5p2t + 3p2t = 8p2t

i mean 5p2t * 3p2t = ?

the answer is 8p2t

To simplify the expression 5p^2t + 3p^2t, we need to combine like terms.

Both terms have the same variables (p, t) and the same power (2), so we can add them together.

First, let's factor out the common terms, which is p^2t:

5p^2t + 3p^2t

Factoring out p^2t, we get:

(p^2t) * (5 + 3)

Simplifying, we have:

8p^2t

So, the simplified expression is 8p^2t.
