Answer:
2a²
Step-by-step explanation:
Pair 'like' terms with 'like' terms, ie numbers go with numbers, and 'a's go with 'a's.
Lets deal with the top of the fraction first:
4ax3a³
Rearrange it so you have numbers beside numbers and 'a's beside 'a's:
(4x3)x(axa³)
12x(a⁴) <em>(because nᵃxnᵇ=nᵃ⁺ᵇ)</em>
12a⁴
Now, instead of (4ax3a³)/6a², we have 12a⁴/6a²
First divide the numbers: 12/6 =2
Now divide the 'a' parts: a⁴/a²=a² <em>(because nᵃ/nᵇ=nᵃ⁻ᵇ)</em>
Now we have 2a²

Simplifying
2x + 3y = 12
Solving
2x + 3y = 12
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3y' to each side of the equation.
2x + 3y + -3y = 12 + -3y
Combine like terms: 3y + -3y = 0
2x + 0 = 12 + -3y
2x = 12 + -3y
Divide each side by '2'.
x = 6 + -1.5y
Simplifying
x = 6 + -1.5y
Answer:
Leanne is correct. It is important that g(x) is subtracted from f(x).
Shiloh is incorrect. She subtracted f(x) from g(x), and subtraction isn't commutative.
*Just took the test, got the answer correct!! Hope this helps!
