Question 468496: divide (5v-35/14)/(v-7/10)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(5v - 35)/14 ÷ (v - 7)/10
(5v - 35)/(14) x (10)/(v - 7) {when dividing fractions, multiply by reciprocal}
5(v - 7)/(14) x (10)/(v - 7) {factored 5 out of first numerator}

5 x 10
------- {cancelled v - 7 diagonally and multiplied what's left}
14

= 50/14 {multiplied 5 by 10 on top}
= 25/7 {reduced}
