Step-by-step explanation: 2m = 2 • 3 and 2 • 3 = 6 so then you add the exponent which makes 6 to the second power so that is 6↑2 (↑ with a number after it represents the exponent/to the power) and 6↑2 =
So then you ad the rest of your problem.
Now your problem is : 6↑2 + 12 = ___
Look at your problem and solve it so now you solve 6↑2 which is 36
When you have an exponent that means you multiply the number by its self how ever many times the exponent is. So 6↑2 = 6 • 6.
Now that you have done your exponent. add the 12 to the 36.
