Question

Divide: (8xy2-14y2) \2y
A.
4xy2 − 7y2
B.
4x − 7
C.
4xy − 7y
D.
4y − 7x

Answer 1

try separating the terms

(8xy2-14y2) \2y ---> becomes (8xy^2)/2y - (14y^2)/2y

and try to cross out common factors in each term between the numerator and denominator

for example, in (8xy^2)/2y, 8/2 can become 4 in the numerator, and y^2/y becomes y in the numerator
