June 8, 2010
greetings!! I am a grade 6 student studying in the U.A.E. I really want to know algebra more since our school here is so advanced. i just want to ask,,, in algebra, is there a need for the laws of exponents. i mean should we follow the rules??? and please teach me how to solve different kinds of long equations because it is kind of confusing.
I usually fail in math because of problem solvings....
Thanks!!!!

Answer
There are definite laws or rules for multiplying and dividing exponents. It is good to know those rules, because it makes the activities easier. Otherwise you need to break down the exponent as repeated multiplications, and that can really slow you down.
For the rules, see:

Best wishes for top grades in algebra.
