Question

could any one help me to simplify this question please​

Answer 1

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

$(5/3)^{-2}$ * $(5/3)^{-14}$ = $(5/3)^{8x}$

or, $(5/3)^{-2+(-14)}$ = $(5/3)^{8x}$

or, $(5/3)^{-16}$ = $(5/3)^{8x}$

or, -16 = 8x   [When bases are equal then powers are also equal]

or, x = -16/8

or, x = -2
