I was tutoring a student and she’s in AlgebraII/Trig Honors. Her book is like 100 years old and has limited easy examples and gradually hard questions to a point where there is no example that could aid in figuring a hard question out. One of those old books where they didn’t really care about the student trying to do their homework alone at home. Anyhow, this was bugging me. I’m trying to get the same base so I can just create an equation using the exponents, but the 63 is throwing me off. Am I not looking at this question the right way?
