Question

Do I divide by 2 on both sides. PICTURE BELOW WILL MEDAL :)

Answer 1

one of the laws of exponents
\(\huge \frac{ax^m}{bx^n} =\frac{a}{b} x^{m-n}\)

Answer 2

example:
\(\huge \frac{3x^8}{4x^5} = \frac{3}{4}x^{8-5}\)

do you know fractions at all? how else would you simplify 3/4? and how would you simplify 8-5

Answer 6

you would simplify 8-5 by subtracting it

that's obvious

Answer 8

and you'll simplify 3/4 by dividing both sides by 2?
