When an exponent is outside the parentheses, you "distribute" it to the other exponents inside the parentheses.
(4^p)^3 would become 4^3p
(4^1)^3 would become 4^3
When the bases are the same, you just simply add the exponents.
Let's just ignore the bases so it'll look less confusing.
3p + 3 = 15
Subtract 3 from both sides.
3p = 12
Divide both sides by 3.
<em>p = 4</em>
12 | 12
— — —
20 | 6
ab = 2 * 6 = 12
4b/2 = (4 * 6) / 2 = 24 / 2 = 12
a^3 + 2b = 2^3 + 2 * 6 = 8 + 2 * 6 = 8 + 12 = 20
b^2 / (4 + a) = 6^2 / (4 + 2) = 6^2 / 6 = 36 / 6 = 6
