What is the missing exponent in the following equation?

h^450/h^? = h^215

1 answer

To find the missing exponent in this equation, we can use the rule of subtracting exponents when dividing like bases.

Since the bases (h) in both numerator and denominator are the same, we subtract the exponents:

450 - ? = 215

To solve for ?, we want to isolate the variable, so we can rearrange the equation:

450 - 215 = ?

? = 235

Therefore, the missing exponent is 235.
