How do you simplify 6x5y62x4y4?

1 Answer

See below

Explanation:

First you have to divide like normally 6 by 2 as the line between the two numbers is a devision line. You then need to subtract the powers because this is the rule of the indices. When you multiply a number with powers - multiply the number and add powers. For this you do the opposite. Divide the number and take away the powers so: 3xy2
Because 6 ÷2=3
x5x4=x
= 3x
y6y4=y2
Therefore
=3xy2
