Question

Is 3²+3³ equal to 3⁵?
( yes, no ) the expressions (are, are not ) equal

Answer 1

Explanation:

No, the expressions are not equal.

3^2 + 3^3 = 9 + 27 = 36

3^2 * 3^3 = 3^5

keep the base the same and add the exponents

Answer 2

Answer: No the expressions are not equal

Work Shown:

3² = 3*3 = 9

3³ = 3*3*3 = 27

3²+3³ = 9+27 = 36

3⁵ = 3*3*3*3*3 = 243

The 3²+3³ = 36 doesn't match up with 3⁵ = 243

Therefore, the two expressions are not equal.
