How do you simplify exponent equations

To simplify with exponents, don't feel like you have to work only with, or straight from, the rules for exponents. It is often simpler to work directly from the definition and meaning of exponents. For instance:

The rules tell me to add the exponents. But I when I started algebra, I had trouble keeping the rules straight, so I just thought about what exponents mean. The " a6 " means "six copies of a multiplied together", and the " a5 " means "five copies of a multiplied together". So if I multiply those two expressions together, I will get eleven copies of a multiplied together. 

Simplifying Expressions

a6 × a5 = (a6)(a5)

= ()()

=

= a11

Thus:

a6 × a5 = a11

i'm not sure i quite understand, could you provide more information?

solve systems of equations by graphing. a system of linear equations contains two or more equations e.g. y=0.5x+2 and y=x-2. the solution of such a system is the ordered pair that is a solution to both equations. to solve a system of linear equations graphically we graph both equations in the same coordinate system
