Rewrite using positive exponents.
4a^3b^-2

x^-8

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 5 and 17.

I first started with 2 and 14, and tried to see if it worked.

This is how you find the second number.

You input the smaller value in the first part, and the bigger number in the second part:

(_ × 2) + (_ × 3)

I kept increasing each number by 1 until I got to the numbers 5 and 17.

I saw that 17 - 5 is 12.

Then, I plugged it into the expression I made.

(5 × 2) + (17 × 3)

10 + 51 = 61.

So, the answer is 5 and 17.
