Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When multiplying fractions, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. Here, $2x^2 \cdot 21 = 42x^2$ and $3 \cdot x^3 = 3x^3$. Simplifying $42x^2 / 3x^3$ gives $14/x$, as you cancel out $x^2$ from the numerator with $x^2$ from the denominator and simplify $42/3$ to $14$.
