Help please
alright so the first step you want is to get the top and bottom as individual fractions so lets look at just the top for now
\[\frac{ 7 }{ 3c }-6\]
we want them to have the same denominator so we multiply 6 by a form of one\[\frac{ 3c }{ 3c }\] this makes them have the same denominator and allows us to combine them
\[\frac{ 7-18c }{ 3c }\]
do the same with the bottom
\[\frac{ 4 }{ c }+3\] multiply 3 by \[\frac{ c }{ c }\]\[\frac{ 4+3c }{ c }\]
so now what we have is \[\frac{ \frac{ 7-18c }{ 3c } }{ \frac{ 4+3c }{ c } }\]
now remember when you divide by a fraction you multiply by the reciprocal so this is the same as\[\frac{ 7-18c }{ 3c }*\frac{ c }{ 4+3c }\]
so we multiply those two terms
\[\frac{ 7c-18c ^{2} }{ 12c+9c ^{2} }\]
now we c *badum tss* that we can factor out a c and get\[\frac{ c*(7-18c) }{ c*(12+9c) }\]
the c we factored out will cancel and leave us with our answer
Thank you soo much!
