Answer:

a + b - c - d

Explanation:

The rules of exponents are ...

(x^a)(x^b) = x^(a+b)

(x^a)/(x^b) = x^(a-b)

Using these rules on your expression, we can simplify it to ...

(3^a) · (3^b) ÷ (3^c) ÷ (3^d)

= 3^(a+b) ÷ (3^c) ÷ (3^d)

= 3^(a+b-c) ÷ (3^d)

= 3^(a+b-c-d)

_____

The Order of Operations requires multiplication and division be evaluated left-to-right in order of appearance. The ÷ symbol means the same thing as the / symbol in this context: whatever is on its immediate left is divided by whatever is on its immediate right.
