How do you do this algebra equation?

[HFS+]

right here

(6xy^3)^-3
_______
(8x^-4y^3)

 

[TecHNooB]

carefully

 

[her209]

On paper with a pencil

 

[Capt Caveman]

correctly

 

[Born2bwire]

Do what with it?

 

[RapidSnail]

1/(216*x^3*x^9)

Edit: didnt's see the bottom lol

x/(1728*y^12)

 

[disappoint]

What equation? There's no equals sign.

 

[ThatsABigOne]

Stop making threads.

Answer= x/1728(y^12)

1.Multiply the -3 to all the powers int top > (6^-3)(x^-3)(y^-9)
2. subtract the powers from top to bottom
3. make all powers positive by moving negative powers to bottom
4. 8*(6^3)=1728

Answer= x/1728(y^12)

1.Multiply the -3 to all the powers int top > (6^-3)(x^-3)(y^-9)
2. subtract the powers from top to bottom
3. make all powers positive by moving negative powers to bottom
4. 8*(6^3)=1728

That isn't an answer, you simply rewrote the 'equation'.

 

[7window]

I was only simplifying the equation because the equation was not set equal to anything.

Didn't you read the syllabus? A brain is a required utensil.

 

[Matthiasa]

Being put in with a proper format would be a good start.
The next important step is actually setting it equal to something so it really is an equation.

(6xy^3)^-3

First, multiply-through the 3.
(18xy^9)^-

Then the -.
(-18xy^9)

Then the ^.
(-18xy^²9)

Then the parentheses cancel each other out.
-18xy^²9

Expand the ^, and rearrange.
^-8xy^19.

Rotate the 8, and move the - down a bit.
^_∞xy^19

Set the x & y aside for a bit, and split the ∞ apart.
Rearrange, and you arrive at your solution:

I dunno LOL
^o_o^







Edit: Ah, now I see the second part. I completely missed the:
_______
(8x^-4y^3)
, having mistook it for a signature, and thus not related to the post. Derp.
I still prefer my solution though. And yes, 'tis not an equation if there's no equals sign.

You're a dumbass.

[Printer Bandit]

there should be an app for that.

 

[chubbyfatazn]

Did you make your denominator your sig to post that?

Some people aren't able to judge line lengths very well.

There's a good reason my eyes are not NIST-certified.

When you have a math problem, give it to an Asian man.
When you have a raging boner, give it to an Asian woman.

Not in math class in U.S. schools.
