Sagot :

Answer:

3a 2b ×2a 6b = 72a²b² = 72× (ab)²

Step-by-step explanation:

3a 2b ×2a 6b = (3 × 2)×(a × b) × (2 × 6)×(a × b)   [commutative property]

                      = (6×ab) × (12×ab)  [associative property]

                      = (6×12) × (ab×ab)  [commutative + associative]

                      = (72) × (ab)²

                      = 72× (ab)²

                      = 72a²b²  [exponent property]
