Sure! Below are the handwritten calculations for each of the problems you provided.

### 1. Simplify \( 6^{10} \times 6^{5} \) using the Product Rule of Exponents.

The Product Rule of Exponents states that when you multiply like bases, you add the exponents.

\[
6^{10} \times 6^{5} = 6^{10 + 5} = 6^{15}
\]

### Answer:
\[ 6^{15} \]

---

### 2. Find the numerical equivalent of \( 8^{9} \times 8^{-6} \).

Using the Product Rule of Exponents, we start by simplifying:

\[
8^{9} \times 8^{-6} = 8^{9 + (-6)} = 8^{9 - 6} = 8^{3}
\]

Now, we find the numerical equivalent of \( 8^{3} \):

\[
8^{3} = 512
\]

### Answer:
\[ 512 \]

---

### 3. Find the value of \( x \) to make the equation \( \frac{5^{x}}{5^{5}} = 5^{12} \) true.

Using the Quotient Rule of Exponents, which states that \( \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} \):

\[
5^{x - 5} = 5^{12}
\]

Since the bases are the same, we can set the exponents equal to each other:

\[
x - 5 = 12
\]

To solve for \( x \):

\[
x = 12 + 5 = 17
\]

### Answer:
\[ x = 17 \]

---

### 4. Simplify \( (9^{3})^{6} \) using the Power Rule of Exponents.

The Power Rule of Exponents states that \( (a^{m})^{n} = a^{mn} \):

\[
(9^{3})^{6} = 9^{3 \times 6} = 9^{18}
\]

### Answer:
\[ 9^{18} \]

---

### 5. Simplify \( \frac{(6^{-3})^{7} \times 6^{20}}{6^{-2}} \).

Using the Power Rule on \( (6^{-3})^{7} \):

\[
(6^{-3})^{7} = 6^{-21}
\]

Now, we can rewrite the expression:

\[
\frac{6^{-21} \times 6^{20}}{6^{-2}}
\]

Using the Product Rule in the numerator:

\[
6^{-21 + 20} = 6^{-1}
\]

Now applying the Quotient Rule:

\[
\frac{6^{-1}}{6^{-2}} = 6^{-1 - (-2)} = 6^{-1 + 2} = 6^{1}
\]

So the final simplified expression is:

### Answer:
\[ 6^{1} = 6 \]

Or in improper fraction form:

\[
\frac{6}{1}
\]
