Answer 1

@DanJS

Answer 2

ok

Answer 3

so do i put the common numbers together first?

Answer 4

like hold on let me try it

Answer 5

\[\frac{ 8*x*y^2 - 14*y }{ 2y }\]

Answer 6

recall:

\[\frac{ 1 }{ x^a } = \frac{ x ^{-a} }{ 1 }\]

Answer 7

\[\frac{8xy^2-14y^2}{2y}=\frac{8xy^2}{2y}-\frac{14y^2}{2y}\]

Answer 8

-6xy^2/2y= -3xy????

Answer 9

no lol i need to work for it or ill never learn

Answer 10

Now reduce each fraction

Answer 11

so simplify each fraction???

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

\[\frac{ y^2 }{ y } = y^2*y^{-1} = y ^{2-1} = y\]

Answer 14

Answer 24

4xy - 7y

Answer 25

here.....

Answer 26

\[\frac{ 8xy^2 - 14y^2}{ 2y } = \frac{ 8xy^2 }{ 2y } + \frac{ 14y^2 }{ 2y } = \frac{ 4xy }{ 1 }+ \frac{ 7y }{ 1 }\]
