Question

simplify the expression.
4y+5(y-9)-36/y-9

Answer 1

distribute the 5 and add like terms together. You should come up with a term that cancels out

Answer 2

sorry, combine like terms together

Answer 3

so that gives you
4y+5y-81/y-9

Answer 4

combine the y terms in the numerator at the top (why I changed it to just combine like terms)

Answer 5

wait 9y-81/y-9

Answer 6

yup. Now, take out a constant in the numerator

Answer 7

then you should have the same term in both the numerator and denominator, which will cancel out.
