Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Solution:

  • Rewrite each number as a power of 7.

  • (7×7)^3 = (7^2)^3 = 7^6

  • (49×7)^3 = (7^2·7)^3 = (7^3)^3 = 7^9

  • (2401)^2 = (7^4)^2 = 7^8

  • Apply exponent rules for division and multiplication: 7^6 ÷ 7^9 × 7^8 = 7^{6-9+8} = 7^5.

  • Therefore the expression equals 7^5, so the exponent x = 5.
