Divide please
first, you should know that to divide fractions, you keep the first term the same, change the sign to multiplication, then flip the last term. (same, change, flip)
then, factor each numerator and denominator to get the simplest factors
i dont know how to do any of that
can you do the first thing i said by changing the sign and flipping the second fraction? (put the bottom part on the top and the top part on the bottom
yes
okay now to simplify, lets start with the first numerator (the first top part of the fraction, on the left) this is a difference of squares. are you familiar with how to factor that?
(2t 1)(2t-1)
(2t +1)(2t-1)
@Studentc14
correct. now lets look at the denominator below that. is there a greatest common factor that you can take out of both 15t and 10?
(3t+ 2)(t+ 1)
do you mean this ^^^above answer for the denominator on the right?
yes
okay, correct. what about the denominator on the left?
i have no idea, its tuff
You can factor out a 5. then, you would have 5(3t+2)
