To solve for the missing number in this simplified exponential expression, we can use the exponent rule that states when dividing two exponential expressions with the same base, we subtract the exponents.
So, by applying this rule to the given equation:
7^? ÷ 7^5 = 7^12
We can rewrite the equation as:
7^(? - 5) = 7^12
According to the rule, the exponents on both sides must be equal.
Therefore, we have the equation:
? - 5 = 12
To solve for ?, we add 5 to both sides:
? = 12 + 5
? = 17
Therefore, the missing number in this simplified exponential expression is 17.
What is the missing number in this simplified exponential expression:
7^?÷7^5=7^12 ?
