Lesson 5-9. Dividing by monomials. #8-34 evens.
First, divide the coefficients. Here, that is 16 and 4.
Then, divide the variables by subtracting the exponents.
The answer would be:
On the back page, you are dividing a polynomial by a monomial.
First, write each term over the monomial. For example:
Write the two terms in the polynomial over the monomial. Then, follow the same steps as above for each term. Since the variable "a" in the first term has the same exponent of 2, they cancel out.
