Let's first split and reduce the equations :)
Split 1 = (3x-3)/(4-4x)
3(x-1)/4(1-x)
Since (1-x) is the same as (-x + 1) which is the same as -1 (x-1)...
We can cancel out the two (x-1)'s and be left with 3/(4 x -1)
So this Split 1 answer = -3/4

Split 2 = (8x^3)/(x)
When dividing variables with exponents...remember that all you need to do is subtract the exponents...since x^3 is being divided by x^1...we are left with 8x^2
That is our answer for Split 2...
Divide Split 1 by Split 2
(-3/4) / (8x^2)
Instead of doing it this way...let's multiply by the reciprocal of 1/(8x^2) which is just 8x^2.
-3/4 x 8x^2
This gives us -6x^2 and that is your final answer :)
