Question

Can someone please help me with this math question?
Please? I will fan and give a medal!!

Answer 1

What is the question?

Answer 2

Please help me to simplify this rational expression -
(6x) (2y+2)
------ * -------
(y+1) (3)

Answer 3

(3*2x) 2(x+1)
----- * --------
(x+1) 3

so do you see it now what and how can simplifie there ?

Answer 4

@jhonyy9 I don't understand what you did because the y's disappeared

Answer 5

I'm confused as well... @jhonyy9 could you try to explain it how to do it? Please?

Answer 6

(6x) (2y+2)
----- * ------- so you can facvtorizing out and rewrite the 6 in this way
(y+1) 3

3*2x 2(y+1)
----- * ------- =
(y+1) 3

hopw you see now clearly what can you easy cross simplifie there

Answer 7

factorizing out the 2 from there

Answer 8

do you see it now what can you cross simplifie easy ?

Answer 9

please collaborate

from 3*2x the 3 and cros to this the 3 too - yes ?

Answer 10

Oh I see now.
You mean
6x 2(y+1)
----* -----
y+1 3

Answer 11

yes so 3 from 3*2x with 3 from denominator simplifie it sure easy and from the laft denominator the (y+1) with (y+1) from numerator on the right side

Answer 12

@abbycross167
We factored a 2 out from 2y+2 so that it becomes 2(y+1).
So we have
\[\frac{ 6x }{ y+1 }*\frac{ 2(y+1) }{ 3 }\]

Now we can cancel out the y+1.
