Question

If (12^5)^6=12^a, what is a A=

Answer 1

$\rm 12^a=(12^5)^6 \\ \\ 12^a=12^{5*6} \\ \\ 12^a=12^{30} \longrightarrow \boxed{\rm a=30}$

Answer 2

So first simplify
(12^5)^6=(12^5)(12^5)(12^5)(12^5)(12^5)(12^5)
remember
if
(x^n)^m=x^nm
so
(12^5)^6=12^(5 times 6)=12^30

so 12^30=12^a
so a=30
