I can't solve this lol pls help

a = 6

b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to take all values of p up and all values of q down

From the division, 9

goes up and the term above comes down

We have all the following indices rule to use;

(a^x)^y = a^xy

a^x * a^y = a^x + y

a^x / a^y = a^x-y

Let us evaluate all p terms;

p^12/p^4 = p^8

Let us evaluate all q terms

q^16/q^10 * 1/q^2

= q^6/q^2 = q^4

Let us evaluate all number terms

We have;

2^4/-3^2 * 9/4^2

= 16/9 * 9/16 = 1

All

number terms canceled out

Now, let us work with the exponents;

For the p terms;

p^8 = p^a+b

a + b = 8 •••••••••(i)

For the q terms;

q^4 = q^a-b

a-b = 4 ••••••••••(ii)

Add both equations

2a = 12

a = 12/2 = 6

For b;

a-b = 4

6-b = 4

b = 6-4

b = 2

answer: ouch. thats difficult
