Answer:
The answer is C 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there is a parentheses around 2⁴, we know that we are multiplying the exponent in (2⁴) by 3. This will give us a product of 2¹².
Since 2¹² is set equal to 2² x 2^n, we know that whatever n equals will be added to the exponent of 2 to get 12.
We know this because since there are no parentheses, when we see the x (multiplication sign) we know that we are adding and not multiplying.
2^12 - 2² = 2¹⁰. So our answer is C. 10
