When you multiply a base with an exponent by a base with an exponent, you add the exponents together. (But you can only combine the exponents when the bases are the same)

For example:

(x^3)y^2=x^3y^2  (can't combine the exponents because they have different bases of x and y)

x^1(x^2)=x^{(1+2)}=x^3

2^2(2^2)=2^{(2+2)}=2^4=16

5^{(\frac{-5}{2} )}*5^{(\frac{9}{2} )}=5^{(\frac{-5+9}{2} )}=5^{(\frac{4}{2} )}=5^2=25    Your answer is C

-7(n - 2) + 2n = -5(n + 6)
skad [1K]

Given the expression below

-7(n-2)+2n=-5(n+6)

To find n

Open the brackets

\begin{gathered} -7(n-2)+2n=-5(n+6) \\ -7n+14+2n=-5n-30 \\ -7n+2n+14=-5n-30 \\ -5n+14=-5n-30 \end{gathered}

Collect like terms

\begin{gathered} -5n+14=-5n-30 \\ -5n-(-5n)=-30-14 \\ 0\ne-44 \end{gathered}

Since, the sides are not equal,

Hence, there is no solution
