Question

How do you simplify `(-24x^6y^7)/(18x^(-1/3)y^9)`?

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

Look at the numbers firstly, 6 divides into 24 and 18

`(-4x^6y^7)/(3x^(-1/3)y^9`

When dealing with powers if they are the same term and we are dividing then we subtract the the powers

`(-4x^(17/3)y^(-2))/3` Or `(-4x^(17/3))/(3y^2`
