Question

How do I solve 8x^9 over 3x^7

Answer 1

x^9/x^7 = x^(9-7) = x^2

so you have (8x^2)/3

Answer 2

Okay Thanks

Answer 3

u know how powers work

Answer 4

separate the problem into parts
part 1 = 8/3
part 2 = x^9 / x^7
First part stays the same but the second can be simplified. Rules of exponents says when dividing subtract. so x^9 / x^7 becomes x^2.
Final answer= 8x^2 / 3

Answer 5

@dan815 not really

Answer 8

well yeah I know that @dan815

Answer 9

okay so lets think about it
