Answer :
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(48x^2)(y) + (16x)(y^2).
This is addition, so the distributive property applies. [(48x^2)(y) + (16x)(y^2)]/8xy = (48x^2)(y)/8xy+(16x)(y^2)/8xy = 6x+2y.
Division rules are explained below.
I included the parentheses to emphasize the difference between x^2y, which means x to the 2y, and (x^2)(y), which is x^2 times y.
- 48/8 = 6
- x^2 times y divided by 8xy equals x because x^2/x = x^(2-1), because x=x^1, and so, equals x; The same y^2/y. The other 2 y's and 2 x's cancel.
TELL ME IF THIS IS CONFUSING<,BECAUSE I DON'T THINK I EXPLAINED VERY WELL.
