Question

Find the quotient and simplify. \frac{ (y-9)^2 }{ 2}div \frac{ 2y-18 }{ 4 }

Answer 1

\[\frac{ (y-9)^2 }{2}\div \frac{ 2y-18 }{ 4 }\]

Answer 2

The expression can be rewritten as
\[\frac{(y-9)^{2}}{2}\times \frac{4}{2(y-9)}\]
Do you follow so far?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

Good! So what is the result if you multiply the two numerators and the two denominators of the rewritten expression, using this rule:
\[\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{c}{d}=\frac{ac}{bd}\]

Answer 5

y^3+1458/8

Answer 6

No. You tried multiplying the numerators and the denominators of the original question. I asked you to multiply the two numerators and the two denominators of the REWRITTEN expression. I gave you the rewritten expression in my first posting.

Answer 7

@corybory Do you understand?
