Question

Erin's equation shows 6 squared times 6 superscript 5 baseline equals 6 superscript 10 baseline.
Eden's equation shows 6 squared times 6 superscript 5 baseline equals 6 superscript 7 baseline.
a. Who completed the problem correctly?
b. What did the other two students do wrong in their answers?
how would I write this

Answer 1

a. Emma completed the problem correctly.

b. Erin incorrectly raised 6 to the 10th power instead of 6 to the 11th power (since 6 to the 5th power multiplied by 6 squared equals 6 to the 11th power). Eden also made a mistake and raised 6 to the 7th power instead of 6 to the 12th power (since 6 to the 5th power multiplied by 6 squared equals 6 to the 11th power, and then squaring that result gives 6 to the 12th power).
