Answer:

The equation 3^4 x 2^3 = 6^4+3 is incorrect.

To evaluate the left side of the equation, we first simplify each term using exponent rules:

3^4 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 81

2^3 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

So 3^4 x 2^3 = 81 x 8 = 648

To evaluate the right side of the equation, we simplify the exponent first:

6^4+3 = 6^4 x 6^3 = 1296 x 216 = 279936

Therefore, the corrected equation should be:

3^4 x 2^3 = 648 = 6^4 - 288

Notice that 6^4 - 288 is equal to the original value of 279936, but the equation has been written correctly by moving the 3 to the other side of the equation and changing the operation from addition to subtraction.
