Multiply and simplify
((36d^2)/(2d^2-16d+32))*((2d-8/(6d))
Would I flip the numerator and denominator in the second and multiply and simplify??
----
No flipping because you are not dividing by a fraction.
You have (a/b)*(c/d)
The product is (ac)/(bd)
------------------------------
((36d^2)/(2d^2-16d+32))*((2d-8/(6d))
Factor where you can.
((36d^2)/(2(d^2-8d+16))*((2(d-4))/(6d))
((36d^2)/(2(d-4)^2))*((2(d-4))/(6d))
----
Cancel where you can to get.
((6d)/((d-4)))*((1))/(1))
----
= (6d)/(d-4)
================
