Question

Luis evaluated the expression \large 3^5+6^3, but he made a mistake. His work is shown below:

3^5+6^3=5\times5\times5+3\times3\times3\times3\times3\times3

\3^5+6^3=125+729

3^5+6^3=854

Question 1
Identify and describe Luis' mistake.
Question 2
Correct Luis' mistake and find the correct answer.

Answer 1

His mistake of my understanding was the (times5+3) and the correct answer would be 459 (explanation below)

Explanation:

first we would have to find 3^5 which is 3*3*3*3*3=243 second we have to find 6^3 which is 6*6*6= 216 now we just have to add them together 243+216=459
