+2446 The original expression is 3−8∗35. In order to do this, we can use the fact that the base of both exponents are the same and then simplify.
| 3−8∗35 | Since the bases are identical, just add the exponents together. In general, ab∗ac=ab+c |
| 3−8∗35=3−8+5=3−3 | A number to a negative exponent is the same as the inverse of a number to the same positive exponent. a−b=1ab |
| 3−3=133=13∗3∗3=127 | This is your answer. |
