Ab = (7x-6) → b = (7x-6)/a (1)
bc = (12-2x) → b = (12-2x)/c (2)
Since (1) = (2) → (7x-6)/a = (12-2x)/c OR a/c = (7x-6)/(12-2x) (3)
Multiply both numerators of (3) by the SQUARE of their respective denominators;
(a*c²)/c = (7x-6)(12-2x)²/(12-2x)
Now simplify:
ac = (7x-6)(12x-2x) or ac = -14x² + 96x - 72
The answer would be an odd number, 111.
Answer:
Dividing exponents you subtract.
3^8/3^5 = 3^3
3^3
Multiplying exponents when an exponent is raised to another.
(3^3)^3 = <u>3^9</u>

Apparently this makes no sense according to comments, if you want a more indepth look into exponents search "The properties of exponents".
