<u>If you're wanting it alone just with the exponents, here is how you're going to do it:</u>
Technically, the 2 alone has a power, and it's simply just one. When exponents are being used in numbers multiplying together, they add. 
So, to simplify this it'd be 2^5. 
<u>If you're wanting the actual answer, you would do exponents first. Remember that exponents are just the number being multiplied by itself x times:</u>
                                    2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16
Now we just need to multiply this by 2 and you'll get 32. 
OR, if you do the 2^5, you'll still get 32! 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
9 smoothies were purchased prior
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 2 from 30 constantly til' you get to 12, count up how many times you've taken away or subtract 30 by 12, get 18 and divide it by 2 and get 9
 
        
             
        
        
        
How do you know the answer if you don't have the work?
2/3(x+1/8) =1/6(x)
2/3×x+2/3×1/8=1/6(x)
2/3(x)+1/12=1/6(x)
2/3(x)-2/3(x)+1/12=1/6(x)-2/3(x)
1/12=1/6(x)-2/3(x)
1/12=1/6(x)-4/6(x)
1/12=-3/6(x)
1/12÷-3/6=-3/6(x)÷-3/6
-1/6=x
