Algebra question

[Zap Brannigan]

OK I want to check my work so let me know what you get for a solution to this problem.

(8x^-1/5 y^1/3)(-3x^-1/4 y^1/6)

solving for X and y?

 

[Zap Brannigan]

Multiply and simplify.

 

[Gibson486]

Did you even type that right?

wtf is the problem

24x^(-9/20)y^(1/3)

-3x^(1/4)y^(1/3)=8x^(1/5)y^(1/6)

is that the actual equation? Or did he just want a simplified form of what he had?

Hi, thanks for the reply!

I ended up getting -24x^(-9/20) y^(1/2)

I checked my work again and I think my solution is correct. Thanks for the help though, I still have more so I'll post my next one in here.
