Hello!

We have the expression:


(3^5)/(3^2)-(4^3)/(4^2)

The first step is to solve each fraction, then we can subtract it, look:

1st fraction:


(3^5)/(3^2)=3^5-3^2=3^(5-2)=3^3

2nd fraction:


(4^3)/(4^2)=4^3-4^2=4^(3-2)=4^1

Now, let's subtract the second value from the first value:


3^3-4^1=(3\cdot3\cdot3)-4=27-4=23

The result of this expression is 23.
