9/(x-1)*7/(x-3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this your equation? \[9 \div (x - 1) \times 7 \div (x - 3)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so it is this when you distribute the 9 and 7 \[\frac{ 9 }{ x - 1 } \times \frac{ 7 }{ x - 3 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what to do now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what the problem actually looks like my brain is sleeping

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so you need to factor the denominators. \[\frac{ 9 }{ x - 1 } \times \frac{ 7 }{ x - 3 }\] \[\frac{ 9 }{ (x - 1) } \times \frac{ 7 }{ (x - 3) }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which simplifies to: \[\frac{ 63 }{ (x - 1)(x - 3) }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so thats what i thought but i second guess my self all the time and i have a hard time commiting to an answer
