Question

Simplify:

(−12x3y4 + 18x2y3 + 6x2y2) ÷ 6x2y2

A.
–2xy2 + 3y + 1

B.
3y – 2xy

C.
2x2y – 3y

D.
–2xy2 + 1

Answer 1

\[\frac{−12x^3y^4 + 18x^2y^3 + 6x^2y^2}{6x^2y^2}=-\frac{12x^3y^4}{6x^2y^2}+\frac{18x^2y^3}{6x^2y^2}+\frac{6x^2y^2}{6x^2y^2}\]

Answer 2

Remember that \[\frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}\]\[x^ax^b=x^{a+b}\]
