You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I interpret your problem as \"%283x-2%29%2Fy\" and \"x=-2\" and \"y=8\"

  • Graphical form: \"%283x-2%29%2Fy\" simplifies to \"-1\"
  • Text form: (3x-2)/y simplifies to -1
  • Cartoon (animation) form: \"simplify_cartoon%28+%283x-2%29%2Fy+%29\"
    For tutors: simplify_cartoon( (3x-2)/y )

DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"%283%2Ahighlight_red%28+x+%29-2%29%2Fy\".
Replaced x with -2
It becomes \"%283%2Ahighlight_green%28+-2+%29-2%29%2Fy\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"%28highlight_red%28+3%2A-2+%29-highlight_red%28+2+%29%29%2Fy\".
Replace constants in expression: \"highlight_red%28+3%2A-2+%29\",\"highlight_red%28+-2+%29\" with \"highlight_green%28+-8+%29\"
It becomes \"%28highlight_green%28+-8+%29%29%2Fy\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"%28-8%29%2Fhighlight_red%28+y+%29\".
Replaced y with 8
It becomes \"%28-8%29%2Fhighlight_green%28+8+%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"%28highlight_red%28+-8+%29%29%2F8\".
Removed extra sign in front of \"-8\"
It becomes \"%28-highlight_green%28+8+%29%29%2F8\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+%28-8%29%2F8+%29\".
Removed extra sign in front of \"-1\"
It becomes \"-highlight_green%28+1+%29\".
Result: \"-1\"
