Find the values for c and d that would make the following equation true. (-9y^c)(dy^7)=36y^9 ( - 9y ^ {c} )(dy ^(7) ) = 36y ^(9) ​

Question

Find the values for c and d that would make the following equation true. (-9y^c)(dy^7)=36y^9


`( - 9y ^ {c} )(dy ^(7) ) = 36y ^(9)`
​

Answer 1

d = -4

c = 2

Explanation:

d = 36/-9

d = -4

c = 9 - 7

c = 2

SO

(-9y^2)(-4y^7)

= (-9)*(-4) * y^(2+7)

= 36y^9
