Answer: i would say probably 3 or -3
I hope it helps
24q^2 / 8q^-3
lets break this down...
24/8 = 3
q^2 / q^-3....when dividing exponents with the same base, keep the base and subtract the exponents. q^2 / q^-3 = q^(2 -(-3) = q^(2 + 3) = q^5
put them together and u get : 3q^5
= is parallel lines because they are in line with each other. Hope I helped :D
