Question

Divide: 48xy4 - 72xy2
--------------
12xy2

Answer 1

4y^2 - 6

Answer 2

All you have to do in this equation is divide all of the actual numbers by 12
So 48/12 and -72/12
Then you subtract the variables
So the x-x is 0 so the x variable is canceled out
Then y4-y2 is y2
And y2-y2 is 0
Then you just put the equation together and get
4y^2-6
