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#
