State two rules we

use when operating

with exponents. • When multiplying, add the exponents

• When dividing, subtract the exponents

• Power to a power requires multiplying the

exponents

• Zero power, unless the base is zero, has an

answer of 1

• Negative exponents, the base becomes its

reciprocal with a positive exponent

Solve for x:

16 + x = 20

x = 4

Solve for x:

2x = 28

x = 14

Solve for c:

3(c+4) = 18 + c

3c + 12 = 18 + c

c = 3

Solve for a:

a² + 144 = 225

a2 = 81

a = ±9

root of 108.
