\[\frac{y^2-81}{64y+576}\]\[=\frac{(y+9)(y-9)}{64(y+9)}\]\[=\frac{y-9}{64}\]I don't understand the last part of your question above.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that is how it is y^2-81 over 64y+576 that is one section then divide y-9 over72
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so divide my answer by \[\frac{y-9}{72}\]???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no its all one equation y^2 over 64y+576/y-9 over 72 does that help any
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No, that doesn't help. Can you use parentheses to clarify?

or the equation editor?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(y^2-81 over 64y+576)/(y-9 over 72)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its in fraction form
OpenStudy (anonymous):
when I say over
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so yes, divide my original answer by \[\frac{y-9}{72}\]which is eqiivalent to multiplying by the reciprocal:\[\frac{y-9}{64}\times\frac{72}{y-9}\]the y-9's cancel, leaving you with 72/64, or 9/8.
