Simplify the expression (6^5)(6^2)? Please, explain the steps that it takes to simplify as well

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying two exponents together, you will be adding the exponents up.

So...

(6⁵)(6²) = 36⁷

When you multiply exponents together, you add the exponents.

The exponents are 5 and 2, and they will add up to make 7. 6 multiplies with 6 to make 36.

Your final answer is 36^7

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870
