\"%286x%5E2y%5E2+%2B+9xy%5E2%29+%2F%283xy%29\" Start with the given expression.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%286x%5E2y%5E2%29+%2F%283xy%29+%2B+%289xy%5E2%29+%2F%283xy%29\" Break up the fraction\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%282%2A3%2Ax%2Ax%2Ay%2Ay%29+%2F%283xy%29+%2B+%283%2A3%2Ax%2Ay%2Ay%29+%2F%283xy%29\" Expand. Remember, \"6x%5E2y%5E2=2%2A3%2Ax%2Ax%2Ay%2Ay\" and \"9xy%5E2=3%2A3%2Ax%2Ay%2Ay\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Highlight the common terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Cancel out the common terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2xy%2B3y\" Simplify\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"%286x%5E2y%5E2+%2B+9xy%5E2%29+%2F%283xy%29\" simplifies to \"2xy%2B3y\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In other words, \"%286x%5E2y%5E2+%2B+9xy%5E2%29+%2F%283xy%29=2xy%2B3y\" where \"x%3C%3E0\" and \"y%3C%3E0\"\r
