A. 19 × 7
B. 1912
C. 19−1
D. 197

Answer 1

193 × 194

( 200 - 7) ( 200 - 6)

(200)² + 200 ( -7 -6) + ( -7 × -6)

40000 - 2600 + 42

37442

Answer 2

If the problem is 19^3 * 19^4
The multiplication rule for exponents is:
If the bases are the same, keep the base and add the powers.
19 ^ (3 + 4) = 19^7
LETTER D should be written as 19^7 instead of 197
