Answer
View full question & answer→Let $n$ be the number of times that $30$ must be added together to get a sun equal to $30^7$
therefore, we can write that $\frac{\underbrace{30+30+\dots+30}=30^{7}}{\text{n times}}$
$\Rightarrow30\times\text{n}=30^{7}$
$\Big[\frac{{\underbrace{\because\text{a}+\text{a}+\dots+\text{a}\times}\text{n}}}{\text{n times}}\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{30\times\text{n}}{30}=\frac{30^{7}}{30}[$dividing both sides by $30 ]$
$\Rightarrow\text{n}=30^{7-1}$
$\Big[\because\frac{\text{a}^{\text{m}}}{\text{a}^{\text{n}}}=\text{a}^{\text{m-n}}\Big]$
$\therefore\text{n}=30^{6}$
Hence, if $30$ is added $30^6$ times, then we get $30^7$
therefore, we can write that $\frac{\underbrace{30+30+\dots+30}=30^{7}}{\text{n times}}$
$\Rightarrow30\times\text{n}=30^{7}$
$\Big[\frac{{\underbrace{\because\text{a}+\text{a}+\dots+\text{a}\times}\text{n}}}{\text{n times}}\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{30\times\text{n}}{30}=\frac{30^{7}}{30}[$dividing both sides by $30 ]$
$\Rightarrow\text{n}=30^{7-1}$
$\Big[\because\frac{\text{a}^{\text{m}}}{\text{a}^{\text{n}}}=\text{a}^{\text{m-n}}\Big]$
$\therefore\text{n}=30^{6}$
Hence, if $30$ is added $30^6$ times, then we get $30^7$
