Q: In order to sell shoes, you gotta have shoes to sell. You could buy them directly from a distributor or you could even make them yourself. Just make sure you're getting them for a good rate! You'll need a variety of shoes in just about every size, and multiples at that. This is a large investment, especially if you can't sell them all. If you don't have thousands of dollars to spend on fancy kicks, team up with an existing shoe seller that needs your expertise. With technology these days, almost anyone is capable of almost anything. Whether you have three pairs of shoes to sell or 30,000, you can get your product online. You'll need some sort of storefront to do so – here are the major ones to consider:  Your own website eBay Etsy Craigslist Google Shopping campaign No one will buy the shoe if they know nothing about it. If it's lacking in description, not only is it a deterrent to buy, but it comes off as shady, too, making your website or ad look sketchy – why would a seller purposefully withhold information? Here's what to consider:  List the manufacturer's original size and its international equivalents. If the original size is not known, list length and width measurements inside and out. Describe the color, type (dress, casual, athletic, etc.) and style (oxford, brogue, pump, etc.) as accurately as possible. List the materials the shoe is made from and describe the method of construction if possible. If the shoes are not new, describe the condition specifically noting any flaws. Take clear, well-lit photographs from all angles and show as many as you can. Size is only important for fit. Shoe buyers are usually most interested in style, so photos are very important. Get good photos taken of your shoes, hiring a photographer if you have to. They should be realistic, but flattering. Make sure each shoe is against a white background and every detail can be seen from various angles. Sometimes brands differ in their sizing (length and width) from the norm. If this is the case, include these details, like the length of useable sole. That means measure the shoe inside along the insole from heel to toe. A 9 or 39 in one brand can differ significantly from another. Let's say a Steve Madden 9 may measure 9 and 3/4" while a Jimmy Choo 39 may measure 9 and 7/8". Small differences do matter, especially when buying through a screen. If you include the insole measurement it can save some back and forth questioning with buyers. When it comes to the condition of used shoes, give as accurate a description and documentation as possible. If the shoes are not new, "gently used or worn" can be rather non-descript. Explain how they are used – i.e. "worn twice; some wear on tread, minor scratches on heel, but leather upper pristine." This grants the customer a sense of solace and makes you appear responsible and honest.  Include photos of any flaws or wear. This can help avoid an angry buyer down the line who may feel they were not well-informed and were duped. Small additions such as those to your listings can help avoid delayed contact with buyers or potential buyers who may have questions. The more complete your listing the more attractive it will be to others. If your shoes are a reasonable cost but your shipping rates are outrageous, your customers will find somewhere else to go that's more reasonable. Offer them several options, ranging from super-quick delivery to something cheaper and not so speedy. And make sure the shoes can get there without incurring any damage. Sometimes you can ship items like shoes for less without the box. It's always nice for buyers to have more than one shipping option. Allowing them to choose if they want the original shoe box or not is a good option for saving a little on shipping. If you're a budding entrepreneur (and even if you're not), you'll need a way to get your shoes, well, on the feet of potential customers. Offer deals to first-time buyers and returning buyers. Purchase ad space on other websites, like Facebook. Get word of mouth going in your area so you can slowly expand your audience. Shoes aren't in the same category as a lot of other things – they're something that customers are always looking for a discount on. If you're having trouble selling a specific style, brand, or size of shoe, slap a discount sticker on it. You may see it fly off your shelves at its new cost.
A: Get or create an inventory of shoes. Open up a shop online. Include all the necessary details in the description of the product. Give each shoe a few photos. Include brand-specific differences, too. If the shoes are used, be honest. Work out the appropriate shipping rates. Offer deals and market your site.

Q: Multiply these as you would any whole numbers. Move the number to the outside of the parentheses. For example, if multiplying (2x3y5)(8xy4){\displaystyle (2x^{3}y^{5})(8xy^{4})}, you would first calculate ((2)x3y5)((8)xy4)=16(x3y5)(xy4){\displaystyle ((2)x^{3}y^{5})((8)xy^{4})=16(x^{3}y^{5})(xy^{4})}. Make sure you are only adding the exponents of terms with the same base (variable). Don’t forget that if a variable shows no exponent, it is understood to have an exponent of 1. For example:16(x3y5)(xy4)=16(x3)y5(x)y4=16(x3+1)y5y4=16(x4)y5y4{\displaystyle 16(x^{3}y^{5})(xy^{4})=16(x^{3})y^{5}(x)y^{4}=16(x^{3+1})y^{5}y^{4}=16(x^{4})y^{5}y^{4}} Take care to add exponents with the same base, and don’t forget that variables with no exponents have an understood exponent of 1. For example: 16(x4)y5y4=16x4y5+4=16x4y9{\displaystyle 16(x^{4})y^{5}y^{4}=16x^{4}y^{5+4}=16x^{4}y^{9}}
A:
Multiply the coefficients. Add the exponents of the first variable. Add the exponents of the remaining variables.
