Answer:

x^6x^{-12} and (x^{-3})^2

Explanation:

Given

(x^3x^{-6})^2

Required

Possible Next Step

Open Bracket;

From law of indices; (a^m)^n = a^{mn}

This implies that

(x^3x^{-6})^2 = (x^{3*2}x^{-6*2})

(x^3x^{-6})^2 = x^{6}x^{-12}

Hence, a possible next step is x^6x^{-12}

Another possible step is as follows

(x^3x^{-6})^2

From law of indices; a^m*a^n = a^{m+n}

This implies that

(x^3x^{-6})^2 = (x^{3+(-6)})^2

(x^3x^{-6})^2 = (x^{3-6})^2

(x^3x^{-6})^2 = (x^{-3})^2

Hence, a possible next step is (x^{-3})^2
