Question

anonymous · Answer

ok so then do like terms

amorfide · Answer

that would work Mertsj but he may be doing factor theorem and it would be harder to do this if he had a division such as 2m+3

amorfide · Answer

Your way is fine, it works for this question and questions similar just figured it would be helpful to attempt to explain how to do it with other terms

anonymous · Answer

these are the answers im supposed to get
4m^7-5m^5
4m^4-10m^5
8m^7-10m^2
4m^4-5m^2

amorfide · Answer

since you are dividing by 2m^3
since other questions are more demanding, I would do it this way.

 (2m^3)(      )
start of with two brackets, one being the dividing term
to start of, you want to look at what will multiply by 2m^3 to give you 8m^7
can you do this?

amorfide · Answer

dont forget your rules of indices,
a^b x c^b= ac^b+b
