there is nothing Shown on the steps
Answer: a = 1 b = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2(y^3)^4/x.y^5 = x^a.y^b
x^2(y^12) = x^a.y^b
(x^2).(y^12)/x^y^5 = x.y^7
x.y^7= x^a . y^b -> <u>x^1.y^7</u>
So the problem ask to find or solve the problem using distributive property, so to calculate if using distributive property is just the same calculation if you are multiplying two number using a paper so the answer is 5(8)+5(90)+5(100), 40+ 450+500 = 990. I hope you understand my answer
