please helpppppppppppppp

\[xy ^{2}=12\] what is x?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

divide both sides by y^2 to isolate x

OpenStudy (misty1212):

HI!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

what @Vocaloid said put the 12 over \(y^2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hi misty!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

an you explain the steps guys?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all i know is factoring this to (xy)y

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

you don't have to factor anything, all you need to do is divide by y^2|dw:1436817054446:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for x....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is 4/3

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

4/3? does it give you the value of y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no but u have to figure it out i think it's 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because xy=4

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

well, yeah, if y = 3, then x = 4/3 because 12/(3^2) = 4/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ....
