Question

Perform the indicated operation.

2w + 16w

p^3 x p^5

7k - 3k

5z x z^3​

Answer 1

18w

p^8

4k

5z^4

Explanation:

1. 2w+ 16w= 18w

2. when multiplying exponents just add the exponents giving you p^8

3. 7k - 3k= 4k

4. 5z also equals 5z^1 and just like problem two you will just add the exponents but you will leave the coefficient( 5 alone) giving you 5^4
