What expression is equivalent to k multiplied by hx if hx equals 5x and k equals 1x?

To find the expression equivalent to k * hx, we first need to substitute the given values for hx and k.

We are provided:

• hx = 5x
• k = 1x

Now, we can substitute these values into the expression:

k * hx = (1x) * (5x)

When we multiply these expressions, we can apply the following steps:

1. Multiply the coefficients: 1 * 5 = 5.
2. Next, multiply the variable parts: x * x = x² (since multiplying the same base adds the exponents).

Putting it all together, we get:

k * hx = 5x²

Thus, the expression equivalent to k * hx is 5x².
