Question

Simplify: 11y-110/50-5y

Answer 1

`(11y-110)/(50-5y)=-(11)/(5)`

Explanations:

Given the following expression show below;

`(11y-110)/(50-5y)`

Factor out the GCF from both the numerator and denominator

`(11(y-10))/(5(10-y))`

This can also be expressed as;

`\begin{gathered} (11(-10+y))/(5(10-y)) \\ (-11(10-y))/(5(10-y)) \end{gathered}`

Cancel out the common expression

`\frac{-11\cancel{(10-y)}}{5\cancel{(10-y)}}=-(11)/(5)`

Hence the simplified form of the expression is -11/5
