M + 12 = 10 solve equation

OK.  Watch carefully, as I guide you through the mysterious and
complex methods of solution, taught to me from the ancient
sacred scrolls of Tibet.  It won't be easy, but I'll go slow so that
neither of us gets lost along the path, to the ultimate wisdom. 
Remember ... the "solution" is the number that 'M' must be, in order
to make the equation a true statement.  Ready ?  Here we go. 
Fossen your seat belt, it's goin to be eh boompy rade, mon:

The equation.           You said that    M + 12  =  10

Subtract  12  from each side:            M          =   -2 .

Were you able to follow all of that ?

Hello!

the answer is:

the answer is:

why?

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
