1/5 divided by 5/7 is 7/25
1/5 ÷ 7/5 = 7/25
Your answer is 7/25
Remember, -(-x)=x because the negatives cancel out
so
when p=-6 and q=7
p+(-q)-3
-6+(-7)-3
-6-7-3
-13-3
-16
In order to divide polynomials using synthetic division, you must be dividing by a linear expression and the leading coefficient (first number) must be a 1. For example, you can use synthetic division to divide by x + 3 or x – 6, but you cannot use synthetic division to divide by x2 + 2 or 3x2 – x + 7. If the leading coefficient is not a 1, then you must divide by the leading coefficient to turn the leading coefficient into a 1. For example, 3x – 1 would becomex minus 1/3 and 2x + 7 would becomex plus 7/2. If synthetic division will not work, then you must use long division.
