42x^5

_____
7x

Divide 42 and 7 first. (6)

Then divide x^5 and x. When you divide exponents you divide. (x^4)

Answer is 6x^4

Ok Weird use ur brain

To simplify the expression 42x^5 / 7x, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Divide the numerical coefficients (numbers) in the numerator and denominator. In this case, dividing 42 by 7 gives us 6. So, the simplified expression now becomes:

6x^5 / x

Step 2: Divide the variables with the same base. In this case, the base is x, and we have x^5 in the numerator and x in the denominator. When dividing variables with the same base, subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator. So, we have:

6x^(5-1)

Simplifying further, we get:

6x^4

Therefore, 42x^5 / 7x simplifies to 6x^4.
