Answer:

Multiply both sides of the equation by 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2+18x=21

The first step is to get the x term with a coefficient of 1, so divide by 3 on both sides of the equation

This is the same as multiplying by 1/3

1/3 * (3x^2+18x)=21*1/3

x^2 +6x = 7

Answer:

a = 12

b = 2

c = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{( {x}^{5}y {z}^{4} )^{3} }{ {x}^{3} yz} = {x}^{a} {y}^{b} {z}^{c} \\ \\ \frac{ {x}^{5 \times 3}y^{3} {z}^{4 \times 3} }{ {x}^{3} yz} = {x}^{a} {y}^{b} {z}^{c} \\ \\ \frac{ {x}^{15}y^{3} {z}^{12} }{ {x}^{3} yz} = {x}^{a} {y}^{b} {z}^{c} \\ \\ {x}^{15 - 3} {y}^{3 - 1} {z}^{12 - 1} = {x}^{a} {y}^{b} {z}^{c} \\ \\ {x}^{12} {y}^{2} {z}^{11} = {x}^{a} {y}^{b} {z}^{c} \\ \\ equating \: like \: terms \: from \: both \: sides \\ \\ {x}^{12} = {x}^{a} \: \implies \: a = \boxed{ 12}\\ \\ {y}^{2} = {y}^{b} \: \implies \: b = \boxed{ 2} \\ \\ {z}^{11} = {z}^{c} \: \implies \: c = \boxed{ 11}$
