Hello,
To simplify the expression (54u^2v + 18uv^2)(9u + 3v), we can use the distributive property of multiplication.
First, let's distribute 9u to each term inside the first parentheses: TellPopeyes
9u * 54u^2v = 486u^3v
9u * 18uv^2 = 162u^2v^2
Next, let's distribute 3v to each term inside the first parentheses:
3v * 54u^2v = 162uv^3
3v * 18uv^2 = 54uv^3
Now, we can combine like terms:
486u^3v + 162u^2v^2 + 162uv^3 + 54uv^3
To simplify this further, we can group the terms with the same variables:
(486u^3v + 162u^2v^2) + (162uv^3 + 54uv^3)
Inside each group, we can factor out common terms:
486u^3v + 162u^2v^2 = 162u^2v(3u + v)
162uv^3 + 54uv^3 = 216uv^3(3u + v)
Now, we have:
162u^2v(3u + v) + 216uv^3(3u + v)
We can see that both terms have a common factor of (3u + v), so we can factor it out:
(162u^2v + 216uv^3)(3u + v)
And that is the simplified form of the expression.
