3y+7 / 3y+7 _________________________ = 9y+2 y+2 I got y^2+21y+7 ____________ 3( 9 y^2 + 2y +2 )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so did I do it right or wrong? lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

So this is 3y+7 ------ 9y+2 divided by 3y+7 ----- y+2 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you flip the second fraction and multiply straight across

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that will give you (3y+7)(y+2) ------------ (9y+2)(3y+7) see anything cancelling?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my 3y+7 yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that leaves you with y+2 ------ 9y+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you, I see where I keep going wrong. (i hope) LOL

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok that's good, just keep practicing
