Can someone show me how you solve this?
(5a) *to the power of 5*, divided by (5a) *to the power of 3*
Since 5a is the common base, do I subtract the powers together? like,
= 5a 5-3 and do I include the brackets?

-
(5a)^5 / (5a)^3
If the base is the same for both, all you have to do is subtract the exponents
5-3 = 2
so the answer is
(5a)^2 or 25a^2
