    adding exponents
    Can somebody help me with this question. I am feeling really silly right now but for some reason, I can't figure it out.

    3^x + 3^x + 3^x = ?


    The ^ means raised to the x power.

    two clues.
    1: what is x+x+x?
    2: what is (x^y)*(x^z)?

    figure out how the first clue applies before using the second clue.
