Question

Need assistance with this one please

Answer 1

`(B) 4x^2y^2 + 5x + xy`

Explanation:

`(24x^3y^3 + 30x^2y + 6x^2y^2)/(6xy)`

6xy is a common factor.

`= (6xy(4x^2y^2 + 5x + xy))/(6xy)`

6xy from numerator and denominator are canceled off.

`= 4x^2y^2 + 5x + xy`

Answer 2

C, 4x²y² + 5x + 1

Explanation:

to solve, we can first factor the numerator by finding a GCF.

`(24x^3y^3+30x^2y+6xy)/(6xy)`

the GCF of the numerator would be 6xy, as each term can be divided by 6xy. we have the following:

`6xy((4x^2y^2+5x+1)/(6xy))`

we can cancel out the numerator and the denominator as both contain 6xy so we have the following:

4x²y² + 5x + 1

we cannot simplify this any further, so our answer is C
