Step-by-step solution


Step 1: We start with the expression (20×5)7 \left(20 \times 5\right)^7 .
Step 2: We'll apply the power of a product rule, which states (a×b)n=an×bn (a \times b)^n = a^n \times b^n . This gives us: (20×5)7=207×57 \left(20 \times 5\right)^7 = 20^7 \times 5^7 .
Step 3: To verify, notice that both 207×57 20^7 \times 5^7 and 57×207 5^7 \times 20^7 involve the same expression due to the commutative property of multiplication. Also, we can rewrite (20×5) \left(20 \times 5\right) as 100 100 , leading to another form: (20×5)7=1007 \left(20 \times 5\right)^7 = 100^7
Thus, both 207×57 20^7 \times 5^7 , 57×207 5^7 \times 20^7 , and 1007 100^7 are equivalent expressions for (20×5)7 \left(20 \times 5\right)^7 .

Therefore, the correct answer choice is (d) "All answers are correct."
