2x75

2x75 is a textual expression that denotes the product of the numbers 2 and 75. In basic arithmetic it is read as “two times seventy-five” and equals 150. The symbol x is used informally as a multiplication sign, though formal mathematical notation typically uses the multiplication sign × or the dot ·, as in 2 × 75 or 2 · 75.

Context matters for interpretation. In algebra, the letter x is often a variable, so a expression like 2x75 could be ambiguous without additional context or operators. Standard practice in mathematical writing is to use explicit multiplication symbols to avoid confusion.

Practical examples of the result include quantities and measurements. For instance, two boxes containing 75 items each would contain 150 items in total; two segments of length 75 meters would span 150 meters, and so on. When units are involved, the units multiply in the same way as the numbers (e.g., 2 × 75 items = 150 items; 2 × 75 meters = 150 meters).

Variants and related notation include 2×75, 2*75 in programming contexts, and 2·75 in some mathematical typesettings. In plain text, 2x75 is a common shorthand, but readers should apply explicit symbols when precision is important.
