Question

Given a+b=7 and a-b=3, find the following

3^a÷3^b

Answer 1

27

Explanation:

a + b = 7

a - b = 3

2a = 10

a = 5

b = 7 - 5

b = 2

3⁵ / 3² = 3³ using law of indices

3³ = 27

Answer 2

27

Explanation:

a + b = 7

a - b = 3

2a = 10

a = 5

b = 7 - 5

b = 2

3⁵ / 3² = 3³ using law of indices

3³ = 27.
