Solve (-2)^2(-2)(-3)^2(-3)=

$$( - 2 ) ^ { 2 } ( - 2 ) ( - 3 ) ^ { 2 } ( - 3 ) =$$

Evaluate

$$216$$

Solution Steps

To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 2 and 1 to get 3.

$$\left(-2\right)^{3}\left(-3\right)^{2}\left(-3\right)$$

To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 2 and 1 to get 3.

$$\left(-2\right)^{3}\left(-3\right)^{3}$$

Calculate -2 to the power of 3 and get -8.

$$-8\left(-3\right)^{3}$$

Calculate -3 to the power of 3 and get -27.

$$-8\left(-27\right)$$

Multiply -8 and -27 to get 216.

$$216$$

Factor

$$2^{3}\times 3^{3}$$
