Question

Algebra pls help Really

Answer 1

Answer: n=-14

Step-by-step explanation:

CONCEPT:

• When the same-base exponents MULTIPLY= adding the exponents
• When the same-base exponents DIVIDE= subtracting the exponents

SOLVE:

The expression in the questions is $(x^{3} )(x^{-17})$ which is MULTIPLYING, which means we should add the exponents together

$(x^{3} )(x^{-17})$=$x^n$ ⇔ Given

$x^{3+(-17)}$=$x^n$ ⇔ Adding Exponents Together

$x^{3-17}$=$x^n$ ⇔ Simplify

$x^{-14}$=$x^n$ ⇔ Simplify

$n$=$-14$ ⇔ Correspondingly

Hope this helps!! :)
