Answer 1

(–5)2a3(m + 3)2

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer to your question is: (–5)² • a³ • (m + 3)²

Explanation:

Your problem is very simple, only have to count the number of like terms, and write that number as a power.

(–5) • (–5) • a • a • a • (m + 3) • (m + 3)

(–5) • (–5) = 2 then: (–5)²

a • a • a = 3 a³

(m + 3) • (m + 3) = 2 (m + 3)²

Now, write the complete expresion

(–5)² • a³ • (m + 3)²
