What expression is equivalent to 5 to the 6th power?PlZZZ HElP A 6.5 B 125.125 C 25.5.5.5 D 36.6.6.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression can be represented as:.5⁶

Required

Find equivalent expression

Express 6 as 3 + 3

Apply the following law of indices

So, we have:

Express as 125

Hence, option (b) is equivalent

Normal way:
Use the distributive property
-4x - 2 = 26
-4x = 28
x = -7

And the lousy way:
Try making x every single number from -100 to 100. Stop when you find the number that makes the equation true.
