Exercise 18 Page 34

Begin with the Distributive Property.

12a^2b^2+5ab^3-a^2b^3

To find the product, we will use the Distributive Property.
ab^2(12a+5b-ab)
12a^2b^2+5ab^3-a^2b^3
Because none of the terms have the exact same combination of variables there are no like terms, and our expression cannot be simplified any further.
