1/3y + 1/6y / 1/2y + 3/4y
2/y+4 / 3/y-4 - 1/y^2 - 16 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! [1/3y + 1/6y] / [1/2y + 3/4y]
---
= [(2/6)y + (1/6)y] / [(2/4)y + (3/4)y]
-----
= [(3/6)y] / [(5/4)y]
----
Invert and multiply:
= [(3y/6)] * [(4/5y)]
-------------
= [12y/30y]
---
= (2/5)
===============
[2/(y+4)] / [(3/(y-4)) - (1/(y^2 - 16))]
---
[2/(y+4)] /[(3(y+4)/(y^2-16)) - 1/(y^2-16)]
---
= [2/(y+4)] / [(3y+12-1)/(y^2-16)]
----
= [2/(y+4)]
---
Cancel (y+4) from numerator and denominator to get:
------------------
= [2(y-4)]/(3y+11)
=====================
