Advanced Math practice question
For x ≠ 0 and y ≠ 0, which expression is equivalent to 6x²y³ / (2xy)?
- A. 3xy²Correct
- B. 3x²y²
- C. 4xy²
- D. 3xy³
Answer: A. 3xy²
Divide the coefficients, 6/2 = 3, and subtract exponents: x²/x = x and y³/y = y².
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. 3x²y²
- x² divided by x is x, not x².
- C. 4xy²
- 6 divided by 2 is 3, not 4.
- D. 3xy³
- y³ divided by y is y², not y³.
