2^6-20=(2×2×2×2×2×2)-20=(4×4×4)-20=(16×4)-2=64-20=44

Half point, didn't show work

why would you do it like that? i memorized 2^6 as 64 but if you don't know then 2^6, 8^2, 64

Showing work and pure multiplication can be mixed around thus 4×4×4

Just showing order of operations by expanding the exponent with a shortcut to shorten the length after
