Question

Simplify the expression: (x^2−8x+16/3x^2y)/(ax−4x/6xy^2)

Answer 1

(3x+16xy−24)/(3a−2y2x)

Explanation:

Factor x out of x^2 -8x+16/3x^2y

Simplify 16/3 (x,y)

Move 16 to the left of the expression x*16

Multiply 16 by x

To write x/1 as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by 3/3

Write each expression with a common denominator of 3, by multiplying each by an appropriate factor of 1

Combine the numerators over the common denominator

To write −8/1 as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by 3/3
