Answer :

Nope !

Using PEMDAS you can solve this step by step :

1st solve what's in the parentheses "( 6^2)" :

6 × 6 = 36

Then solve "36^3" :

36 × 36 × 36 = 46,656

Next solve the other equation "6^5" :

6 × 6 × 6 × 6 × 6 = 7,776

So, ( 6^2 )^3 ≠ 6^5

If this helps please rate and heart my answer ! :D If not, tell me what I got wrong :3
