Answer:
answer A: [tex]7^{7} * 2^{7}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
All you have to do is distribute the exponent to each number inside the parenthesis separately. That means you distribute the power of 7 to the 7 in the parenthesis and the power of 7 to the two in the parenthesis. And then you just put a multiplication sign in between the two numbers raised to the sevenh power. Since, they are asking for an equivalent equation and no evaluation, do not attempt to solve the problem. All you have to write is [tex]7^{7}*2^{7}[/tex], and see which answer choice matches that new, but eqivalent expression. And that answer choice would be Answer A.
