What is the value of p?

when a number is power to a number a, and it is also power to another number b we can apply the property
[tex](x^a)^b=x^{a\cdot b}[/tex]apply this to the expression above
[tex]\begin{gathered} x^{22}\cdot(x^{7\cdot3)} \\ x^{22}\cdot x^{21} \end{gathered}[/tex]continue by applying the property of a product between the same number as a base but with a different exponent
[tex]x^a\cdot x^b=x^{a+b}[/tex]apply this to the expression above
[tex]\begin{gathered} x^{22}\cdot x^{21^{}} \\ x^{43} \end{gathered}[/tex]the value of p is equal to 43.
