Question

Simplify 12x to the power of 7 y to the power of 3 divided by 6x to the power of 3 y

Answer 1

2x⁴y²

Explanation:

The question gives us the expression;

12x⁷y³ ÷ 6x³y

We are supposed to simplify the expression;

First we could divide the digits;

12 ÷ 6 = 2

Then we divide the like terms;

x⁷ ÷ x³

This means;

`=(x*x*x*x*x*x*x )/(x*x*x)`

`= x*x*x*x`

`=x^4`

y³ ÷ y

That is;

`=(y*y*y)/(y)`

`=y*y`

`=y^2`

Therefore, the simplified expression will be 2x⁴y²
