Add the exponents
you do not do anything when you add numbers with exponents. you just figure out the answer. it is only if you multiply numbers with exponents, where you add the exponents..
The answer depends on what you wish to achieve.
The rule is that you multiply the exponents. So if I have 2 squared and I want to raise it to the third power, you multiply the 2x3=6. When you multiply powers you add the exponents. When you raise exponents to a power you multiply. This works for rational exponents which can be used to represent roots as well.

Multiply
You add exponents when multiplying. Ex: (xm) × (xn) = xm+n
If the base numbers or variables are the same, you add the exponents.
You should multiply the numbers, but add the exponents. For example: 92 x 27 = 189
when you multiply powers with the same base.
You have to add the exponents. It's best if you just remember it. You can also consider what happens when you multiply something like:(2 x 2 x 2) x (2 x 2) As you can notice, the number of factors get added. That's like adding the exponents.

To multiply exponents you basically add them like so... if it was 7 to the power of 2 and 7 to the power of 6 you just add them together and u would get 7 to the power of 8
Add them up providing that the bases are the same.
