Question

Simplify...

Answer 1

\[5/4x^2y -y/14xz\]

Answer 2

Is this (5/4) [ (4x^2) y] - (y/14) xz ?

Answer 3

No. It is just as it looks.

Answer 4

It looks as if the common denominator will be 28 x^2 y z.

The first rational expression would be: 7z (5) / (28 x^2 yz.

The second will be y(2yz) / (28 x^2 yz . There's the negative sign to consider shortly.

Do agree with these rewrites of the two fractions?

Answer 5

Yes.

Answer 6

Except the second should be 4(2xy) correct?

Answer 7

Yes.

Answer 8

I guess we can simplify now.

Answer 9

7z (5) / (28 x^2 yz) - 4(2xy) / (28 x^2 yz) =

Answer 10

35x-8xy/28x^2yz

Answer 11

Are we fiinished? :)

Answer 12

I believe so!

Answer 13

OK
