A student who was studying multiplication of variables for the first time got confused because of the symbols used in different algebraic expression. He found two equations of multiplication written in two different ways:
X×2×A
2AX
According to him, 2nd equation is not correct. State whether he is right?
No
No, he is not right. In algebra, multiplication plays an important role and has its own status. It is the default operation. That means if no other operation is given between two numbers or variables, then we can assume that they are being multiplied.
