\(2^6 + 2^6\) = (\(2^6\)) x \(2\) = \(2^7\)

\(3^6 + 3^6 + 3^6\) = (\(3^6\)) x \(3\) = \(3^7\)

D. \(2^7\) + \(3^7\)

2^6 + 2^6 + 3^6 + 3^6 + 3^6 = 2^6(1 + 1) + 3^6(1 + 1 + 1) = 2^6(2^1) + 3^6(3^1) = 2^7 + 3^7

Pay close attention to the pattern

2^6 + 2^6 = 2(2)^6 =2^7
3^6 + 3^6 +3^6 = 3(3)^6 = 3^ 7 - same thing

2^7 +3^7

Thus
"D"

\(2^6 + 2^6 + 3^6 + 3^6 + 3^6\)

Or, \(2^6 ( 1 + 1 ) + 3^6 (1 + 1 + 1 )\)

Or, \(2^6 ( 2 ) + 3^6 (3 )\)

Or, \(2^7 + 3^7\)

Hence, answer will be (D)
