0

The solution requires that you know to add exponents when the same base is multiplied.

$2^(55)*2^(60)=2^(55+60)=2^(115)$

Also

$2^(97)*2^(18)=2^(97+18)=2^(115)$

So,

$2^(115)-2^(115)=0$

Answer is 0

Use the laws of exponents to simplify:

$x^a*x^b=x^(a+b)$

So simplify the equation and solve:

$2^55*2^60-2^97*2^18$

$=2^(55+60)-2^(97+18)$

$=2^115-2^115$

$=0$
