<h3>
Answer: x*a^2 or a^2*x</h3>
======================================
Work Shown:
a^(b+2) = a^b*a^2 ... break up the exponent
a^(b+2) = x*a^2 ... replace a^b with x
We don't know the value of 'a' nor the value of x, so we cannot evaluate further. This is the same as a^2*x because order of multiplication does not matter. For example, 2*3 = 6 and 3*2 = 6, so 2*3 = 3*2.
