Question

If x is not equal to zero, what is the value of 4(3x)^2/ (2x)^2

Answer 1

We can write it like this:

$\frac{4*(3x)*(3x)}{(2x)(2x)}$

if x isn't 0, we can divide both sides by x:

$\frac{4*(3x)*(3)}{(2x)(2)}$

and again


$\frac{4*(3)*(3)}{(2)(2)}$


and now we can calcuate

$\frac{4*9)}{4}$

and divide both sides by 4.

We're left with 9!!


so the solution is 9!
