Basically, divide all the terms by -6x^2y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its C!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didnt realize thats all i had to do! thanks!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B, i meant b. ugh.

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

What happened to the last fraction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait, so it was C ? cause i thought i did it wrong

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

It is C. o_O

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Explain, what you did for B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got the one with the 1/2 !

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

What's the different method you did for B.

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

You split it into 3 fractions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the calculator that i used must have just messed it up then cause i got C, and i thought that one was choice B. before when i was getting it wrong i ended up with the whole thing as a fraction i was computing something completely wrong.

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Do you want me to explain on how I got C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

typing that into a calculator is just asking for problems haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im pretty sure i got it, you just do dauspex said and divide each "section" by -6x^2y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes @robz8 im aware, i have horrible luck with calculators!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct, it is simple to divide each 'section' all you have to do is divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since you are dividing 3 terms unique by 1 term, your answer should have 3 terms so it can't be B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just got my choices mixed up. cause when i do this, i do a bunch of different things at once so i can get things done and then i can add up all my questions that are similar since i learned how to them.
