Jackson was rewriting some exponential expressions. He claims that 3⁴•2³ is equal to 6⁷ since "all you have to do is multiply the bases and add the exponents." Is Jackson's reasoning correct?​

Answer:

The answer is no.

Explanation:

1. 3x3x3x3=81

2. 2x2x2=8

3. 81x8= 648

4. 6x6x6x6x6x6x6=279,936

Therefore the answer is unequal.
