For which values(s) of a and b is it true that 5a·5b = (5a)b. A) all values of a and b B) a = 0, b = 1 C) a = 1 b = 1 D) a = 2 b = 2

Answer 1

D) a = 2 b = 2

Explanation:

a = 2 b = 2 is correct. Since the left side simplifies to 5a+b and the right side to 5ab, and 2+2 = 2*2.

Answer 2

I believe the answer would be A.
