Answer 1

The progress we've made so far:

We determined that the left side was \(\Large 3^{16x}\)

but what is the right side simplified to?

Answer 2

let me give you colors again

\( \Large \dfrac{a^{\color{green}{b}}}{a^{\color{orange}{c}}} = a^{\color{green}{b}-\color{orange}{c}} \)

Answer 3

Here's an example

\(\Large \dfrac{2^{12x}} {2^{8}} = 2^{(12x - 8)}\)

can you now do it for YOUR question?

Answer 4

so then for YOUR question, what is

\(\Large \dfrac{3^{20x}}{a^{24}} = ?\)

just subtract the exponents and write it like I did in that example I just gave you
