Is the expression x3•x3•x3 equivalent to x3•3•3? Why or why not? Explain your reasoning.

If the first expression reads x (cube) • x (cube) • x (cube) and x (cube • cube • cube), then the answer is no. They are not equal.

x (cube) • x (cube) • x (cube) will be equivalent to x (to the 9th power) while x (cube • cube • cube) will be equivalent to x (to the 27th power).
