${(x^{n - 2})}^{3}$

Step 1

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$x^{(n - 2) \cdot 3}$

Step 2

Apply the distributive property.

$x^{n \cdot 3 - 2 \cdot 3}$

Step 3

Move $3$ to the left of $n$ .

$x^{3 \cdot n - 2 \cdot 3}$

Step 4

Multiply $- 2$ by $3$ .

$x^{3 n - 6}$
