Question 454889: I need help with simplifing by removing factor of 1. Is this the same as simple factoring? The problems I am trying to solve are:
1) 7q^2+7q/14q^2+49q (that is 7q (q to the power of 2) plus 7q over(/) 14q^2 (that si 49 q (q to the power of 2) plus 49q.
2) t^2-81/(t+9)^2 (that is t to the power of 2)minus 81 over(/) (t-9)to the power of 2). Any explanation would be greatly appreciated.
