Answer 3

You should cancel out all like terms

Answer 4

Division with powers = subtraction of the powers. Multiplication of powers = addition of the powers. You can only add and subtract like terms, basically x + x only. So right now you have a "division" question with 4 different constants. Divide (aka. subtract) the like terms and see what you get, don't subtract the numbers but rather divide them normally, they're not powers. :P

Answer 5

-2?

Answer 6

You're forgetting the variables. (x^2)/(x)= x. You should do that to the other variables

Answer 7

Yep, don't forget the x's, y's, z's, or they shall be sad.

Answer 8

so you have x^2 on the top and x on the bottom, the power of x on the top = 2 and x on the bottom = 1. Since the division of powers equal subtraction, what is x^2/x?

Answer 9

the result is x..

Answer 10

so how do I put it? x/-2? or what
