Answer:The exponent product rule says that you could add the exponents when the bases are the same.

In the question above-mentioned, x by the power of 3 is multiplied with x by the power of 7. Applying the exponent product rule, you just have to add both powers, 3 and 7 since they have the same bases, thus, (x^3)(x^7)=x^10.
