Question

Reduce the Fraction: a(x-2y)/b(2y-x)

Answer 1

`\displaystyle-(a)/(b)`

Explanation:

We have:

`\displaystyle{(a(x-2y))/(b(2y-x))`

In the denominator, we can factor out a negative 1. This yields:

`=\displaystyle(a(x-2y))/(-b(x-2y))`

We can now cancel out the factor. Hence:

`\displaystyle=-(a)/(b)`
