2x3y6

2x3y6 is a symbolic expression commonly encountered in algebra. Written without explicit multiplication signs, it is interpreted using the standard convention that juxtaposition implies multiplication. Therefore, 2x3y6 equals 2 × x × 3 × y × 6, which simplifies to 36xy.

As a monomial in two variables, the expression has total degree 2 and a coefficient of 36.

In broader use, 2x3y6 can appear in problems involving expansion, factoring, or solving equations where x and
