Nnesha (nnesha):
\[-(\frac{ 5 }{ 8})(5x)(\frac{ 8 }{ 5 })(12y)\] let's say there is no 0
then multiply the coefficient
\[-\frac{ 5 }{ 8 } \times \frac{ 8 }{ 5 }\]
5/8 and 8/5 are reciprocal
Nnesha (nnesha):
so you can cancel them
\[-\frac{ \cancel{5} }{ 8 } \times \frac{ 8 }{ \cancel{5} }\]
and 8 also cancels left with -1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how do u do that?
Nnesha (nnesha):
-1 (5x)(12y)
Nnesha (nnesha):
that's arleady in the question `-(5/8)`(5x) `(8/5)`(12y)(0)
when you multiply reciprocal you will get one
