Practice makes perfect

Consider the given expression.

(7^6-6^5)(8-8) At first glance, this exercise may seem difficult with the exponents being so large. However, subtracting a number from itself results in a difference of 0. If we begin the exercise by simplifying the second set of parentheses, we do not need to worry about those exponents at all!

Property/Operation	Before	After
Subtract Terms	(7^6-6^5)( 8-8)	(7^6-6^5)* 0
