What is the missing exponent in the following equation?

Question

h^450/h? = h^215
(1 point)

Answer 1

To solve the equation $\frac{h^{450}}{h^{?}}=h^{215}$, we can use the property of exponents that states $\frac{h^a}{h^b}=h^{a-b}$.

So we have:

$$\frac{h^{450}}{h^{?}}=h^{450-?}$$

Setting this equal to $h^{215}$, we get:

$$h^{450-?}=h^{215}$$

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

$$450-?=215$$

Now we solve for the missing exponent $?$:

$$450-215=?$$ $$?=235$$

Thus, the missing exponent is $235$.
