Question

How to solve equation below

Answer 1

Answer: (a) -6x²y

Explanation:


`(-18x^(3)y^(2) )/(3x^(2) y)`
X to the power of 2 should be cancelled from the top and bottom, which leads to:

`(-18xy^(2) )/(3y)`
Then Y to the power of 1 should be cancelled from top and bottom (since it can go into both), which leads to:

`(-18xy)/(3)`
Then find the highest common factor (which is 3), and cancel it out from the top and bottom, which leads to:

`(-6xy)/(1)`
which equals to
-6x²y (a)
