Hi ,
If anybody tell me the easy way of solving this will be helpful.

I am using ^ sign since I don't know how to type 5 raised to 12. Is "^" this sign used to denote superscript or raised to.

5^12+5^13

a.5^25
b.10^25
c.6(5^12)
d.10^12+5
e.2(5^12)+5

Thanks
RP

You get 5^12( 1 + 5) = 5^12(6)

Option C
