three times two A

Question

three times two a

Answer 1

Usually times is refered to the multiplication

 

Three times means Multiply by 3

 

Two A means 2A

 

so here, it means 3 * 2A

 

that is 6A

Answer 2

The way I think of this is realizing that its all multplication.  So just stick all the corresponding parts (similar to like terms when adding, but this is multiplying) together and find their products.

3 times 2 a = 3•2a or (3)(2a) or 3(2a).... this could go on.  For these problems, just multpily numbers with numbers and variable with variables.  This is the quickest way to think about these problems.

3 and 2 have a product of 6.  So the answer is 6a. 

HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES TO HELP YOU GET WHAT IM SAYING HERE:

1) 4 times 5xy = 20xy

2) 5t(6t²) = 30t³

3) 1/2(4a)15a = 30a²

Answer 3

3*2a can be written in many fasions, in particular I prefer to view it as 3(2a). In addition to the communitive property, you can also view this as a scalar multiplication, so that for any "x" where "u" and "v" are real numbers, u(vx)=(uv)x. This is a very handy way of looking at such problems, as it has many repurcussions later in mathematics. In the example provided "three times two a" 3(2a)=(3*2)a=(6)a=6a. You can prove this by working backwards with example problems. Begin, for example with 10a. We know that 2*5=10, so let us write it as (2*5)a=10a, then you can write this, via our axiom, as 2(5a) which is "two times five a." You will find that this axiom holds true for all sets of real numbers.

Answer 4

3*2a

To solve this problem you need to use the communitive property of multiplcation which states for all real numbers a, b, and c a*b*c=b*c*a=c*a*b=b*a*c.....etc. The gist of this is multiplcation is not dependent on order, so 

3*2a= 3*2*a= 6a     

Answer 5

It's really simpler than all that jibberish.  Just multiply 3X2, and remember to add the a at the end.
