Worked through step by step. More algebra.

Answer
10x7\boxed{10x^7}

Checking the result by expanding the terms gives (2xxx)(5xxxx)=10x7(2 \cdot x \cdot x \cdot x)(5 \cdot x \cdot x \cdot x \cdot x) = 10x^7.

Problem: Simplify the expression (2x3)(5x4)(2x^3)(5x^4).

Steps

  1. Rearrange using the commutative and associative properties
    (25)(x3x4)(2 \cdot 5)(x^3 \cdot x^4)
  2. Multiply the coefficients and apply the product rule for exponents (xaxb=xa+bx^a \cdot x^b = x^{a+b})
    10x3+410x^{3+4}
  3. Add the exponents
    10x710x^7
