Question

simplify 48w^10x^8/18w^3x^2

Answer 1

\[48w ^{10} x^8 / 18x^3x^2\]
48/18 = 8/3
10 - 3 = 7
8 - 2 = 4
so
\[8x^7 y^4\]

Answer 2

wouldn't the y be 6th power

Answer 3

Yes it would be, sorry about that,

Answer 4

then would you use the 3 as a denominator and not have w and x?

Answer 5

Yes I think so, let me rewrite what I typed up there cuz its confusing

Answer 6

8w^7x^6/3 ? I am sorry to be so dense.

Answer 7

\[8w^7 y^6 /3\]
Being that way is good! Trust me, it decreases the chances of getting a wrong answer by a ton!
