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.
