Add 6 + 3 for the numbers; then multiply 2 x 4 to get the exponent for x.
Add 6 + 3 for the numbers; then multiply 2 x 4 to get the exponent for x.
Multiply 6 x 3 for the numbers; then multiply 2 x 4 for the exponent on x.
The correct steps to simplify the expression 6x^4 ⋅ 3x^2 are:
1. Multiply 6 x 3 to get the product of the numbers, which is 18.
2. Add the exponents of x, 4 + 2, to get the exponent of x in the simplified expression, which is 6.
So the simplified expression is 18x^6.
Therefore, the correct answer is "Multiply 6 x 3 for the numbers; then add 4 + 2 for the exponent on x."
