We’ll subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator, keeping the base the same. Cant be simplified, because the base of the expression in the numerator is y and the base of the expression in the denominator is x.
(9)(3) would be the expression for the factors rounded to the nearest whole numbers.
I hope I correctly answered your question and that this helps.
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
2 = x-3
<em>Adding 3 to both sides</em>
2+3 = x
5 = x
<u><em>OR </em></u>
x = 5
So what are we trying to find the reduced fraction or inverse operation
There are 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup. You can solve this problem using these proportions:

It states that there are 8 fluid ounces in every 1 cup and 144 fluid ounces in every <em>x </em>cups. We have to solve for <em>x </em>using cross-multiplication:

Vickie can fill 18 1 cup candle molds with 144 fluid ounces of scented candle wax.
