Answer:

64x

Explanation:

Hello!

Using the exponent rule
(a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b - c), we can simplify the fraction.

Simplify:


  • x*(4^8)/(4^5)

  • x* 4^(8 - 5) Use the exponent rule.

  • x * 4^3 Simplify the power

  • x*64 Simplify the exponent

  • 64x Simplify

The simplified expression is 64x.
