5 4

5a 2a

10b b
40 2

6 ?
2 5c What is the missing algebraic expression?

To determine the missing algebraic expression in the given pattern of expressions, let's analyze the pattern in each term.

In the first term, we have:
5 multiplied by 4
5a multiplied by 2a

In the second term, we have:
10b multiplied by b
40 multiplied by 2

From the above pattern, we can observe that the missing algebraic expression in the last term should be the product of the given expressions:
6 multiplied by 2
2 multiplied by 5c

Therefore, the missing algebraic expression is:
12
10c

Thus, the complete expression is:
6 multiplied by 2
2 multiplied by 5c
