hi, what is the question?

As you're multiplying by the same base number, you just add the powers up; 2+(-7)+3= -2
so the answer is 6^(-2)

Hope that helps x

when having powers that you have to times you add them instead to it would be:
6(*2+-7) which would be 6(*-5.)
then do 6*-5+3 =6*-2
* means power
I hope your teacher sees this thread and your cheating. Shame on everyone colluding.
