Question

What is the result if you divide -12xy by 3x4y??

Answer 1

The result will be -1.

Explanation:

Given:

Dividend =
`-12xy`

Divisor =
`3x4y`

Step 1 : Given divisor contains 2 single terms and 2 variables we will make it as 1 single term and 2 variables because our dividend is in this format.

hence the divisor will be
`3x4y =12xy`

Step 2: now dividend is
`-12xy` and divisor is
`12xy`

Hence the result will be
`-(12xy)/(12xy)=-1`.
