help please complex fractions

Answer 1

What's your question?

Answer 2

its in the picture

Answer 3

i give medels

Answer 4

start by simplifying this
\[3-\frac{4}{v-1}\]

any ideas?

Answer 5

and by simplifying, i mean combining it into a single fraction

Answer 6

so its \[\frac{ 3v-7 }{ v-1}\]

Answer 7

yes


now remember that

\[\frac{1}{\frac{x}{y}} = \frac{y}{x} \]

now convert
\[\frac{3v}{\frac{3v-7}{v-1}}\]

into a proper fraction

Answer 8

i got \[\frac{3v}{ (3v-7)(v-1) }\]

Answer 9

not quite

it would actually be
\[\frac{3v (v-1)}{3v-7}\]

Answer 10

another way of thinking about it is

i multiplied the entire thing by (v-1)/(v-1)

Answer 11

do you see what i did?

Answer 12

anyways you just continue the same 2 steps until you get a proper fraction, then you see if you can simplify anything by factoring and etc
