Full solution

Q. Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents. \newline9q3q\frac{9q}{3q}
  1. Identify Coefficients and Variables: Identify the coefficients and the variables in the expression.\newlineThe expression 9q3q\frac{9q}{3q} has coefficients 99 and 33, and the variable qq in both the numerator and the denominator.
  2. Simplify Coefficients: Simplify the coefficients by dividing them.\newlineDivide the coefficient in the numerator by the coefficient in the denominator.\newline93=3\frac{9}{3} = 3
  3. Simplify Variables: Simplify the variables by dividing them.\newlineSince q/qq/q is equal to 11 (any non-zero number divided by itself is 11), we can simplify q/qq/q to 11.
  4. Combine Coefficients and Variables: Combine the simplified coefficients and variables.\newlineSince q/qq/q is 11, it does not need to be written, and we are left with just the simplified coefficient.\newlineThe final simplified expression is 33.
