Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:The exponent of a number shows how many times the number is multiplied by itself.

According to the rules of exponents,

We know that, am ÷ an = am − n

(5m ÷ 5−3) = 55

5m−(−3) = 55

5m + 3 = 55

The bases are the same on both the sides, so their exponents must be equal.

∴ m + 3 = 5

⇒ m = 5 − 3

⇒ m = 2
