Molly- 2+3 equals 5 then she times that by 4 which gets 20 but Nancy used PEMDAS and did 4x3 then added 2 which gets 14. Nancy is correct

Molly : she calculated 2 + 3 x 4.....and she got 20......so she basically added 2 + 3 (which equals 5), then multiplied by 4...giving her 20.

Nancy : she calculated 2 + 3 x 4...and she got 14...so she basically multiplied the 3 x 4 (which is 12) and added the 2.

Nancy is correct because in PEMDAS (the order of operations) multiplication comes before addition

Answer:

rules of exponents apply

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

a^-b = 1/a^b

(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

Applying those rules to the given equation, you get ...

$\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^4\cdot\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^2=5^{-6}\\\\ \left(\dfrac{1}{5^4}\right)\cdot\left(\dfrac{1}{5^2}\right)=5^{-6}\\\\ (5^{-4})(5^{-2})=5^{-6}\\\\5^{-4-2}=5^{-6}\\\\5^{-6}=5^{-6}$
