1. Use multiplying by 1 to find an expression equivalent to 9/2 with a denominator of 12a?
Multiply numerator and denominator by 6a to get (9/2)(6a/6a)= 54a/12a
-----------------------
2. Collect like terms? 23/3x+7/3y-4/3x+7/3y
????? Like terms relate to addition and subtraction; your problem is
all division.

3. Remove parentheses and simplify? 9h=6j-4(9h-9j=7K)
?????why are there two equal signs
------------------------
4. Simplify? 2{[5(y-5)+19]-[2(2y-3)+5]}
= 2{[5y-25+19]-[4y-3+5]}
= 2{y-4]
= 2y-8
