1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $2xy + 45pv0 + 68cp8$. 2. **Analyze each term:** - $2xy$ is a product of variables and a coefficient. - $45pv0$ contains a zero multiplied by variables, so it equals zero. - $68cp8$ appears to be a term with variables and digits; assuming $p8$ is a variable name or a typo, but if $8$ is a digit, it is part of the coefficient. 3. **Simplify terms:** - $45pv0 = 45 \times p \times v \times 0 = 0$ 4. **Rewrite the expression without the zero term:** $$2xy + 0 + 68cp8 = 2xy + 68cp8$$ 5. **Final simplified expression:** $$2xy + 68cp8$$ This is the simplest form unless further information about variables is given.
