Question

Divide the following polynomial by 3.c. 27x²y – 15xy

Answer 1

Answer:

$9x^2y-5xy$

Step-by-step explanation:

Split it up like this to make it easier to work with:

$\frac{27x^2y}{3}-\frac{15xy}{3}$

Since the only thing in the denominator of those fractions is a 3, we can only divide the 27 by 3, not the x or y terms.  Same thing with the second fraction.  27 divided by 3 is 9 and 15 divided by 3 is 5, so

$9x^2y-5xy$

is the solution.  It is not completely simplified, but that isn't what you asked for, so this should suffice as the answer.
