Question

http://www.sketchtoy.com/38070766 @amistre64 What would the exponent be for 5x? I think it's 5x^2 but, I'm unsure.

Answer 1

when you take 3 xs aways from 5xs .. whats left?

Answer 2

3 xs, from 5 xs leaves 2 xs; so yes

Answer 3

Okay! Thanks!

Answer 4

your fancy little green stuff give a clue ... theres only 2 xs left in it :)

Answer 5

Answer 6

the end result is fine ... if theres an error it is in the factoring of 8

2.2.2.2 does not equal 8
