From Tanisha:
I would just like to double check if something like 5x squared times 4x cubed equals 20x to the power of 5??
It's just that we were told you can only answer an equation like this if the base is the same...so does that mean the x part or the whole thing like 5x?
I'm sorry if that didn't make sense!
Thank you for your help!!

Is there a way of doing this so that you dont have to graph it? If the x axis is horizontal can i say it is the base and the y-axis is horizontal meaning the height. Would I be able to do this...-3 to 7-->9 spaces, -3 to 5-->7 spaces-----9(7)63/2=31.5
(2) A cube has a surface area of 54 square centimeters. What is the volume of the cube in cubic centimeters?
