Calculate:

", "advice": "

To calculate $\\var{x}^\\var{m}\\var{x}^\\var{n}$, we want to make use of the following rule:

\n

\\[a^n \\times a^m = a^{n+m}\\]

\n

Applying this rule,

\n

\\[\\begin{split}\\var{x}^\\var{m}\\var{x}^\\var{n} &\\,=\\var{x}^{\\simplify[!collectNumbers]{{m}+{n}}}\\\\ \\\\&\\,=\\var{ans}. \\end{split}\\]
