Explanation Rule used: To raise a power to a power: 1. Multiply the exponents. 2. Keep the same base. The rule can be stated symbolically as ( a m ) n = a m n where a , m and n are real numbers and a ≠ 0 . Calculation: The given expression is ( a 7 ) 3 . By using the above rule, simplify the expression as follows: ( a 7 ) 3 = a 7 Ȭ

Percentage

A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.

Algebraic Expressions

In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.

Numbers

Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.

Subtraction

Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
