Question

Simplify each expression

Answer 1

The correct answer is,

(10y² + 15y)/(35y² - 5y) = (2y + 3 )/( 7y - 1)

Explanation:

It is given an expression,

(10y² + 15y)/(35y² - 5y)

To simplify the given expression

Taking 5y as common from both numerator and denominator,

(10y² + 15y )/( 35y² - 5y) = 5y( 2y + 3)/5y( 7y - 1)

= (2y + 3 )/( 7y - 1)

Therefore the simplified form of given expression is given by,

(10y² + 15y)/(35y² - 5y) = (2y + 3 )/( 7y - 1)

Answer 2

`(2y+3)/(7y-1)`

Explanation:

The given expression is

`(10y^2+15y)/(35y^2-5y)`

Factor both the numerator and the denominator.

`=(5y(2y+3))/(5y(7y-1))`

Cancel out the common factors.

`=(2y+3)/(7y-1)`
