Question

Help I've been stuck on this forever!
Divide (9x^4y^3 + 3x^3y^2 - 6x^2y -12x^2y^4) by -3x2y.

Answer 1

1. Simplifying
-5(6x + -7y + 1) = 0

Answer 2

Solution for -5(6x-7y+1)= equation:

Simplifying
-5(6x + -7y + 1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
-5(1 + 6x + -7y) = 0
(1 * -5 + 6x * -5 + -7y * -5) = 0
(-5 + -30x + 35y) = 0

Solving
-5 + -30x + 35y = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + -30x + 5 + 35y = 0 + 5

Reorder the terms:
-5 + 5 + -30x + 35y = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
0 + -30x + 35y = 0 + 5
-30x + 35y = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5
-30x + 35y = 5

Add '-35y' to each side of the equation.
-30x + 35y + -35y = 5 + -35y

Combine like terms: 35y + -35y = 0
-30x + 0 = 5 + -35y
-30x = 5 + -35y

Divide each side by '-30'.
x = -0.1666666667 + 1.166666667y

Simplifying
x = -0.1666666667 + 1.166666667y

Answer 3

I am confused, that's an example right?

Answer 4

He actually solved the problem in the most simplest form, I just skimmed over it. long post :).

Answer 5

the answer is -0.000111111111133

Answer 6

\[\frac{ 9x^4y^3+3x^3y^2-6x^2y-12x^2y^4}{ -3x2y }\]

Answer 7

Okay So first I divide -3x2y and 9x4y3 ?

Answer 8

hope that i helped

Answer 9

@randomrefrigerator, did you understand that?

Answer 10

Eh, Kinda? :p

Answer 11

@wmj259 can you help go through the step in solving it?

Answer 12

Most certainly, but first? is that being divided by -3x^2y or -3x*2y?

Answer 13

-3x^2y !

Answer 14

Now that most certainly makes a HUGE difference.

Answer 15

Be careful with exponents :).

Answer 16

When I divided them all I got (not sure if its correct)
