Add the indices of any like bases.

To multiply in algebra you simply ADD the exponents of the same variables.

$5 d^{2} r$ $5d^2r$ cannot be simplified on its own.

$3 d \times 4 d^{3} = 12 d^{4}$ $3d xx4d^3 = 12d^4$

If these two expressions were meant to be multiplied together the product would be:

$5 d^{2} r \times 12 d^{4} = 60 d^{6} r$ $5d^2r xx 12d^4 = 60d^6r$
