In this case we have 2 different bases, so we will add what can be added, that is, the exponents of $3$

$3^x\cdot2^x\cdot3^{2x}=2^x\cdot3^{3x}$

To solve this problem, we'll use the property of exponents for multiplying powers with the same base:

• Step 1: Identify that all terms have the same base, which is $8$. The equation is given as $8^a \times 8^2 \times 8^x$.

• Step 2: Apply the multiplication property of exponents: $b^m \times b^n = b^{m+n}$.

• Step 3: Add the exponents: $(a) + (2) + (x)$ to get the new exponent for the single base.

By applying these steps, we obtain:

$8^{a+2+x}$

This result matches choice 1, confirming that this is the correct simplified expression.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: The problem gives us the expression $2^a \times 2^2$. Here, the common base is 2.
Step 2: We'll apply the property of exponents, which states that for the same base, you add the exponents: $b^m \times b^n = b^{m+n}$. In this case, it will be $2^{a+2}$.
Step 3: Rewriting the expression using this rule, we get: $2^a \times 2^2 = 2^{a+2}$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $2^{a+2}$.

To solve the expression $5^2 \times 5^a \times 5^3$, we will make use of the exponent rule for multiplication, which states that if you multiply powers with the same base, you add the exponents:

$a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}$

Let's apply this rule step by step:

• Step 1: Identify the base of the power terms. In this problem, the base is $5$.
• Step 2: Write down all the exponents. The exponents we have are $2$, $a$, and $3$.
• Step 3: Add the exponents together:
  $2 + a + 3$.
• Step 4: Simplify the sum: $2 + a + 3 = 5 + a$.
• Step 5: Express the final result as a single power:
  The expression can be rewritten using the exponent rule as $5^{5+a}$.

Thus, the final simplified expression is $5^{5+a}$.

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Confirm the given expression is $4^x \times 4^2 \times 4^a$.
• Step 2: Apply the exponent rule for multiplication of powers: if $b^m \times b^n = b^{m+n}$, use this with base 4.
• Step 3: Add the exponents of each term.

Let's work through these steps:

Step 1: The expression we have is $4^x \times 4^2 \times 4^a$.

Step 2: Since all parts of the product have the same base $4$, we can use the rule for multiplying powers: $4^x \times 4^2 \times 4^a = 4^{x+2+a}$.

Step 3: The simplified expression is obtained by adding the exponents: $x + 2 + a$.

Therefore, the expression $4^x \times 4^2 \times 4^a$ simplifies to $4^{x+2+a}$.

To solve this problem, we'll apply the exponent rule for multiplying powers with the same base.

• Step 1: Identify the base. The base for both terms is 3.
• Step 2: Apply the multiplication of powers rule. According to the rule, when multiplying powers with the same base, we add their exponents: $3^4 \times 3^x = 3^{4+x}$.
• Step 3: Write down the simplified form of the expression. The simplified expression of $3^4 \times 3^x$ is: $3^{4+x}$

Therefore, the solution to the expression $3^4 \times 3^x$ simplifies to $3^{4+x}$.

Here, the base $a$ is $7$, and the exponents are $x+1$ and $x$.

Step 2: Add the exponents:

The expression becomes $7^{(x+1) + x}$.

Step 3: Simplify the exponents:

$(x+1) + x = 2x + 1$

The simplified expression is $7^{2x+1}$.

Therefore, our solution matches choice 3.

The solution to the problem is $7^{2x+1}$.

To reduce the expression $5^{2x} \times 5^x$, we will use the exponent multiplication rule:

Step 2: Since the base (10) is the same for all terms, we add the exponents:

Step 3: Simplifying further:

Thus, the expression simplifies to:

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $10^{2b+2a+2}$.

We use the power property to multiply terms with identical bases:

$a^m\cdot a^n=a^{m+n}$We apply the property for this problem:

$4^{2y}\cdot4^{-5}\cdot4^{-y}\cdot4^6= 4^{2y+(-5)+(-y)+6}=4^{2y-5-y+6}$We simplify the expression we got in the last step:

$4^{2y-5-y+6} =4^{y+1}$When we add similar terms in the exponent.

Therefore, the correct answer is option c.

Since the bases are the same, the exponents can be added:

$2x+1+5+3x=5x+6$

We use the power property to multiply terms with identical bases:

$a^m\cdot a^n=a^{m+n}$We apply the property to our expression:

$7^{2x+1}\cdot7^{-1}\cdot7^x=7^{2x+1+(-1)+x}=7^{2x+1-1+x}$We simplify the expression we got in the last step:

$7^{2x+1-1+x}=7^{3x}$When we add similar terms in the exponent.

Therefore, the correct answer is option d.

To solve this problem, we will use the rule of exponents that allows us to expand the sum $a + b + c$ in the exponent:

• Given: $4^{a+b+c}$
• According to the exponent rule $x^{m+n+p} = x^m \times x^n \times x^p$, we can express:
• Step: Break down $4^{a+b+c}$ to:
• $4^a \times 4^b \times 4^c$

Therefore, the expanded form of the equation is $4^a \times 4^b \times 4^c$.

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Analyze the given expression's exponent.
• Step 2: Apply the exponent addition rule to expand the expression.
• Step 3: Identify the correct choice from a set of given options.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The expression given is $3^{2a + x + a}$. Here the exponent is $2a + x + a$.
Step 2: We apply the rule $b^{m+n} = b^m \times b^n$ by rewriting the exponent sum as individual terms: $(2a)$, $x$, and $a$.
Thus, we can rewrite the expression using the property of exponents: $3^{2a + x + a} = 3^{2a} \times 3^x \times 3^a$.
Step 3: Upon expanding, the solution corresponds to option :

$3^{2a}\times3^x\times3^a$

Therefore, the expanded expression is $3^{2a}\times3^x\times3^a$.

To solve the problem, we can follow these steps:

• Step 1: Recognize that the given expression is $2^{2a+a}$.
• Step 2: Use the Power of a Power Rule for exponents, which allows us to write $a^{m+n} = a^m \times a^n$.
• Step 3: Rewrite the expression as follows:

Given: $2^{2a+a}$

Step 4: Simplify the exponent by splitting it:

Since the expression in the exponent is $2a+a$, we can write:

$2^{2a+a} = 2^{2a} \times 2^a$

Thus, applying the properties of exponents correctly leads us to the expanded form.

Therefore, the expanded equation is $2^{2a} \times 2^a$.

To reduce the given equation $a^{-3x} \times a^b \times a^b$, we will use the multiplication of powers rule for exponents, which states that if you multiply powers with the same base, you add the exponents.

Let's follow the steps:

• Step 1: Identify that all terms share the same base, $a$.

• Step 2: Apply the rule: $a^{-3x} \times a^b \times a^b = a^{-3x + b + b}$.

• Step 3: Simplify the exponents by adding them: $-3x + b + b = -3x + 2b$.

Therefore, the reduced form of the equation is $a^{-3x + 2b}$.
