Simplify the expression: 42x3y6 6xy6 A) 7x2y12 B) 7x2y C) 36x2y12 D) 7x2

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

So first you simplify

Step 1: (2•3•7x3y6) (2•3xy6)

Step 2: you divide x3 by x1 = x (3-1) = x2

step 3: You cancel out y6 as it appears on both sides of the fraction line.

step 4: cancel out 2 as it appears on both sides.

step 5: cancel out 3 as it appears on both sides.

step 6: final result 7x2
