Question

The area of a rectangle is 36x⁷y5. If the length of the rectangle is 9x⁴y, which expression represents the width of the rectangle in yards?​

Answer 1

`4x^3y^4 = w`

Explanation:

`36x^7y^5= (9x^4y)w`

`(36x^7y^5)/(9x^4y) = w` 36 ÷ 9 = 4; x^7 ÷ x^4 = x^(7 - 4) = x^3; y^5 ÷ y = y^(5-1) = y^4

`4x^3y^4 = w`
