Physics terms as well: gerade/ungerade, brehmstrallung (probably spelled that one wrong...), etc.

Can someone explain how to handle exponents in simple algebra equations?
According to the answer key, 25/2-23/2=23/2
But why??
cesium133:
You can rewrite 25/2 as 2*2*21/2 (each time you multiply by two that adds 1 to the exponent).
So, in this case, 25/2-23/2 = 2*23/2-23/2 = 23/2 * (2-1) = 23/2
Carl-E:
In other words, it's not the exponents that needed handling. It needed to be broken down into components in order to be solved.
