Question 652669
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


In the absence of any other instructions your professor/instructor might have given as to the form of the answer, either of your answers <b><i>should</i></b> be acceptable.  In practical terms, either could end up being preferrable assuming that this process was an intermediate step in a larger problem and depending on what the next step in the problem might be.  Be that as it may, your work is spot on and both of the answers you provided are mathematically equivalent and correct.  Good job.
