The value of this expression is 16. In exponential problems you can multiply the base by the number of times the exponent is. In this case it would be: 2*2*2*2. Then just multiply and get the product of 16.
Are you supposed to solve for the equations?
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
PEMDAS is the order of operation and stands for:
Parenthesis
Exponents (& Roots)
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
First, add 3 to both sides of the equation:
u = -3a - 3
u (+3) = -3a - 3 (+3)
u + 3 = -3a
Next, divide -3 from both sides of the equation:
(u + 3)/-3 = (-3a)/-3
a = (u + 3)/-3
is your answer.

Firstly start off with finding the lowest common multiple of 14 and 24. The LCM would be 168. Then you would look at your powers, here you have to choose the highest power of each letter. So 14x^4 and 24x^6 the highest is x^6, then for y it would be y^6 and then for z it would be z^8. So altogether your answer would be 168x^6y^6z^8
