Answer 6

how did you get the groges? and yes it is agent

Answer 7

First, in the numerator what could we do to combine everything? Second, the denominator has a fraction. Remember that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by it's reciprocal. Does that make sense?

Answer 8

yes. so far so good

Answer 9

That's all you gotta do. :D Some terms my 'cancel' out.

Answer 10

ok stupid question then. when you multiply the top by the flipped denominator, does it apply to both terms on the top?

Answer 11

\[\frac{ x-\frac{ 1 }{ y } }{ \frac{ x }{ y } }=(x-\frac{ 1 }{ y })\frac{ y }{ x } = \frac{ y }{ y }(x-\frac{ 1 }{ y })(\frac{ y }{ x })=\frac{ yx-y }{ y }\cdot \frac{ y }{ x }\]

I think you could do the rest from here. I just wanted to make sure the concept was demonstrated. :D

Answer 12

Not a stupid question. Yes it would.

Answer 13

could you finish it? like do you multiply next?

Answer 14

Lets see if you can get it finished. First, did all of my steps make sense to you?

Answer 15

yes, multiplying by y/y to give a common denominator.

Answer 16

Great. Honestly I think you can do this on your own. Just got to simply it by possibly canceling out similar terms on top and bottom.

Answer 17

I got it now! I was having the biggest brain fart ever!!! thanks so much!

Answer 18

No problem man. Glad to see you got it all on your own! :D
