33 x 42
__________________________ =
2 x 3-3 x 16

33-(-3) = 6
16 = 42 ... 42-2 = 0

so.. 36 x 2 <-- answer I guess I am not sure

How did the 2 in the denominator come up in the numerator??

The rest is correct, though. :smile:
 
so the answer is 3^6 / 2 ??

Yes, or 362-1.
 
Ok Cheers :)
 
Im sorry have another question is kinda the similar .
Simplify the following expressions:

23x 4x or 22x
_________________________________________ =
16x or 24x

23x+2x = 5x = 25x / 24x = 2x
