Answer 2

So is this the problem \[(3-7b-8y \div 3b) +( 3b+8y \div 6b)\] I want to make sure I get it right.

Answer 3

yes 8y is over 3b

Answer 4

You can take out 3b as your common denominator so you'll get -12b^2 + 9b -4y
Then, since its diving, you'll pile everything together so you'll get (-12b^2+9b-4y)/3b as your final answer.

Answer 5

(-12b^2+9b-4y)/3b is the answer is that completely simplified?

Answer 6

That's as simplified as it gets.
