The power symbols are missing.
I can infere that the product intended to simplify is (7^8) * (7^-4)., because that permits you to use the rule of the product of powers with the same base.
That rule is that the product of two powers with the same base is the base raised to the sum of the powers is:
(A^m) * (A^n) = A^ (m+n)
=>(7^8) * (7^-4) = 7^ [8 + (- 4) ] = 7^ [8 - 4] = 7^4, which is the option 3 if the powers are placed correctly.

Answer:
w= 6
Step-by-step explanation:
I just started by making an educated guess using the values already given. Then I inserted that into the problem to see if it worked.
L= 2w - 5
I used 6 as a random, educated guess for the value of w.
L = 2(6) - 5
L = 12-5
L = 7
Then, multiply L by 2 to account for both side lengths of the rectangle.
7(2)= 14
Subtract that value from the total perimeter to find what the width must equal.
26 - 14 = 12
Divide that answer by 2 since there are two sides for width.
12/2 = 6
I know this was kind of long, but I hope it helps! :)
Remember the properties of logarithms. If you have ln81, you can pull out the power of two (9^2) and have 2ln9. Also, you could do ln9 + ln9 because 9*9=81 and ln9*9 = ln9 + ln9
With these properties, you can get 3lnx+2lny, which is 3u+2v according to the answer.
Hope I helped!
