Answer 1

Answer: 23 to the 2nd power - 17 to the 2nd power = (23+17) (23-17) = (40) (6) = 240

Step-by-step explanation: with the problem 23 to the 2nd power - 17 to the 2nd power we take the 23 and 17 put them in parenthesis and first do addition with 23 and 17 then do subtraction with 23 and 17. after you get the total from adding and subtracting and put them in parenthesis and multiply them. then you take everything you did and put it all together to get your final answer 23 to the 2nd power - 17 to the 2nd power = (23+17) (23-17) = (40) (6) = 240. your welcome have a good day <3.
