Can someone help me simplify: (x^5/6^2)^3? I know how to solve these kind of problems, but only when the bases are the same. Please include steps and work. I’m giving away as much points as possible. Thank you

(x^5/6^2)^3

Distribute the exponent 3 to both numbers. Multiply the exponents by 3. 5•3=15 and 2•3=6

x^15/6^6

You can find the answer to 6^6, it’s 36.

x^15/36

If you have any further questions feel free to ask.

Hope this helps.
