help some more please wait till i solve to see if im doing it right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay go

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ a+1 }{ a ^{2}+8a+7 } * \frac{ a+7 }{ -6 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actuaclly i dont kno how to do this one it confuses me on the bottom part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look we can put (a^2+8a+7) in more simple way to be (a+7)(a+1) and then we can move on to the next step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see thank you hold up one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait the top wouldnt be a^2 + 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

noooo you have to multiply (a+1) * (a+7) but in this case look for the similar from the numerator and the denominator to delete them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both top and bottom would be removed of a+1 and a + 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be -1/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Hamoody1996

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep thats it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should ALWAYS look for the similar to delete them that will make your work easier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and when you multiply 2 brackets you go like this |dw:1409335182987:dw|
