Figure this out

9(25)
Write that using the distributive propertythen simplify.

My cousin is a fekkin moron and thinks I'm wrong. So we're proving it.

9 x 25

= 225

right? or maybe I'm a fekkin moron lol

Distributive property? I'm probably way off (that was back in junior high), but...

25 + 25 + 25 + (etc.) = 225???

no guys... sousagal76, thats Powers.
like 25 to the 9th power.

According to Algebrahelp.com., The Distributive Property is an algebra property which is used to multiply a single term and two or more terms inside a set of parentheses.

But, in your example it is already simply, all we can do is to multiply that single term like jax did.

9(25)
=9x25
=225

if it is more than one term, I.e.

9(25+2)
=(9x25) + (9x2)
=225 + 18
we can get 243.

No danymarie what he did is not powers. 25^9 would be 25X25X24 etc not 25+25+25 etc.

25 x 25 x 25 x 25 x 25 x 25 x 25 x 25 x 25

25 to the power of 9

= roughly off the top of my head, 3 814 697 265 625

I know I'm not answering the question I just wanted to write the answer for 25^9 because it's cool :P

LOL jax
