Answer:
(hope this helps can I pls have brainlist (crown) ☺️)
Step-by-step explanation:
7^8 x 7^3 x 7^4 / 7^9 7^5
= 7^(8+3+4) / 7^(9+5)
= 7^15 / 7^14
= 7^(15-14)
= 7.
When the bases of the numbers are the same when multiplying numbers with exponents, you can just add the exponents like so:
7^8 x 7^3 x 7^4= 7^15
Now, look at the rest of the simplified equation and do the same to the denominator:
7^15 / 7^9 x 7^5 ⇒ 7^15/ 7^14
When the bases are the same in the fraction, you are allowed to subtract the exponents. This will lead you to the simplified answer = 7^15-14 = 7^1 = 7
