When multiplying two terms with the same base, you add the exponents. In this case, x to the fifth power times x to the third power would be x to the power of 5 + 3, which simplifies to x to the power of 8. So, x to the fifth power times x to the third power equals x to the eighth power.

Well, darling, when you've got x to the fifth power and x to the third power, you simply add the exponents because you're multiplying those bad boys together. So, x to the fifth power times x to the third power is x to the eighth power. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Use the properties of powers. In this case, you can combine powers with the same base, by simply adding the exponents.
