Help With Math Problem Solving

Question: Help me with math problem solving? ?
Use the digits 1, 3, 5, and 7 to make two number whose product is 2325.
And please show how you did it.
OMG. I suck at problem solving, not one of my strong points.
Find three consecutive even integers so that six less than two times the largest number is equal to the sum of the other two?
Answer: 75 x 31 = 2325
I dont know if there is any formula to do this or not,
but i just used the highest possible 2-digit number and multiplied it with the remaining numbers.
however, there maybe other solutions to this as well…

Help With Math Exponents

Question: Can someone help me with this exponent math problem?
Its hard to type exponents sooo ^ will be the exponent sign * example x^3 ………3 would be the exponent
please explain the awnser and why is it the awnser
simplify each expression
(a) 3x^5 + 2x^5
(b) 3x^5 * 2x^5 *= multiply
Answer: 3x^5 + 2x^5 = 5x^5
Both are the same variable, with the same exponents, but different coefficients.
It’s similar to:
2ab + 4ab = 6ab
3x^5 * 2x^5 = 6x^10
The coefficients of “x” are multiplied together to equal 6.
The exponents of “x” are multiplied together also.
Example:
x^2 * x^4 = x^8
Hope this helps.
