Write each expression as a power, and evaluate.
a.) 7x7
b.) 3x3x3

7^2

3^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponents signify how many times the base is multiples by itself. In the case of 7x7, 7 is the base and it is being multiplied by twice itself, resulting in an answer of 7^2

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
