    It would be helpful to know what you want to do with these expressions. Are you being asked to simplify them? If so, apply the following properties of exponents:

    a^ma^n = a^{m+n}

    \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}

    (ab)^n = a^nb^n

    \left(\frac ab\right)^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n}

    Re: Grade 9 Algebra help

    a) 2(-3a2b)2=2 x (-3)2 x (a2)2 x (b)2 = 2 x 9 x a4 x b2 = 18a4b2

    b)2bn x 23b = 2 x 23 x bn x b = 24 x bn+1 = 16bn+1

    anyways I would always say to practice these sorts of exercises with the formulas that Reckoner gave here.

    Is the "x" a multiplication sign? If so, use "*" in the future?
    Or did you mean a "+"; or "-" ?

    It is letter A. Is this really a grade 9 equation?
