Normally, we could add exponents.
however, that only is possible when the bases are the same
recall what exponents mean
12³=12*12*12
so we cannot add exponents for 12³*11³ because that means 12*12*12*11*11*11
it would not equal 12⁶ or 11⁶
or you could refer to the rule

notice when x=x then we can add the bases
fun fact below
we can reverse a previous exponential rule like this
since

then

therefor

we can't add the exponents because the bases are not the same
Answer:
7 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
SA = 208 cm^2
SA= 2*a*b + 2*a*c + 2*b*c
where:
a= first dimension = 2 cm
b= second dimension = 10 cm
c= third dimension
so we have:
208= 2*2*10 + 2*2*c + 2*10*c
208= 40 + 4c + 20c
208-40= 24c
168=24c
c =168/24
c = 7cm = third dimension
That means the same as 3-17 so the answer is -14
The question is in clear because it does not say how many people Mario is sharing with. To get the answer you have to take 6•18=Total ounces
Total Ounces divided by (people sharing with+ Mario) = same amount per person
