Hi guys,

I am a little confused as to what the answer to this question is. I tried applying the same rules to this problem as for multiplying exponents, but I got the wrong answer. Can you please explain how you will solve this problem?

thank you.

$$2^5+2^5+3^5+3^5+3^5 = 2*2^5+3*3^5 = 2^6+3^6$$

2^5 (1 + 1) + 3^5 (1 + 1) = 2^6 + 3^6
