Here is how u do it :
2^5 + 2^5 + 3^5 + 3^5 + 3^5
= 2 (2^5) + 3 (3^5)
= 2^1 (2^5) + 3^1 (3^5)
= 2^6 + 3^6
The idea is when the base is same in a product of two numbers, their exponents can be added.
i.e.
x^a x^b = x^(a+b)
I hope it helps
2^5 + 2^5 + 3^5 + 3^5 + 3^5
= 2 (2^5) + 3 (3^5)
= 2^1 (2^5) + 3^1 (3^5)
= 2^6 + 3^6
