Answer 2

Answer 3

thats not how it look on my paper the 3 is smaller and next to the 2

Answer 4

An exponent of 3 maybe? In that case, it would look like 3*7*(2^3)

Answer 5

Which would be 21*(8)

168

Answer 7

thanks what does the small 3 mean

Answer 8

It's an exponent, meaning you multiply the number under it by itself that many times

Answer 9

2^3 = 2*2*2

Answer 10

thanks

Answer 11

Oh and if it is a negative exponent, like 2^(-3), you would have 1/(2*2*2)

Answer 12

Or just 1/(2^3) if you want to keep it that way
