Answer 2

So let's look at our two options.
9 to the power of 8 divided by 9 to the power of 7 is equal to 9 to the power of (8-7) or 9 to the power of 1, which is just 9.
9 to the power of 10 divided by 9 to the power of 2 is equal to 9 to the power of (10-2) or 9 to the power of 8.
So, which of these is equal to (9^2) * (9^6)?
