a = 6 and a = 24/13 FALSE!!!
<h3>Answer: NO SOLUTION.</h3>
If you have (3^4)^3 then you multiply the two exponents to get 3^12. if you have 3^4 x 3^3 then you add the exponents to get 3^7
A is the correct answer I hope that helps :)
is there photos for this question? sorry im a lil confused on "what the following" are
