Question

Which value is equal to 3 of the 2 power x 2 to the 3 power? show your work

Answer 1

17

Explanation:

We can split the expression:

3² + 2³

into two terms:

3² and 2³

We can evaluate each term individually, then add them at the end.

First, we can evaluate 3²:

3² = 3 × 3 = 9

Remember that an exponent specifies how many times a number should be multiplied by itself.

Next, we can evaluate 2³.

2³ = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8

Finally, we can add these two terms.

9 + 8 = 17
