Question #d477f

Answer 1

`(16x-24y+64)/2`

Explanation:

The above expression is equivalent to the first one, because they are essentially the same expression, which can be reached by arithmetic or algebraic manipulation. For example, if you divide the numerator and denominator by `2`, you still arrive at `8x - 12y + 32`.

But seeing that this is posted under negative exponents, here is my negative exponent version of an equivalent expression:

`1/(8x-12y + 32)^-1`
