Answer

$25.2x$

Work Step by Step

We start with the given expression: $4\times (x\times6.3)$ The commutative property of multiplication states that changing the order of the factors does not affect the product. We use this property to rearrange the factors: $(x\times6.3)\times4$ The associative property of multiplication states that changing the grouping of the factors does not affect the product. We use this property to rearrange the grouping: $x\times(6.3\times4)$ We use the order of operations to simplify: We simplify inside the parentheses: $x\times 25.2$ We multiply: $25.2x$
