| ① | Multiply $20$ by $ \dfrac{x^6}{14} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 20x^6 }{ 14 } $. Step 1: Write $ 20 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 20 \cdot \frac{x^6}{14} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{20}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{x^6}{14} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 20 \cdot x^6 }{ 1 \cdot 14 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 20x^6 }{ 14 } \end{aligned} $$ |
