Step 2.1.1

Move ${1.008}^{n}$ .

$- 125 \cdot {1.008}^{n} - 125 \cdot - 1 \cdot ({1.008}^{n} \cdot {1.008}^{n})$

Step 2.1.2

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$- 125 \cdot {1.008}^{n} - 125 \cdot - 1 \cdot {1.008}^{n + n}$

Step 2.1.3

Add $n$ and $n$ .

$- 125 \cdot {1.008}^{n} - 125 \cdot - 1 \cdot {1.008}^{2 n}$

Step 2.2

Multiply $- 125$ by $- 1$ .

$- 125 \cdot {1.008}^{n} + 125 \cdot {1.008}^{2 n}$
