The simplified rational expression is (y - 3)/(y + 3). Where y ≠ -3.

<h3>How to simplify a rational expression?</h3>

A rational expression is in the p/q form. Where p and q are polynomial functions.

To simplify this rational equation,

  • Factorize the polynomials in both numerator and denomiantor.
  • Cancel out common factors if any.
  • If the denominator and the numerator have no common factors except 1, then that is said to be the simplest form of the given rational expression.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The given rational equation is

\frac{y^2 - 12y + 27 }{y^2 - 6y - 27}

Factorizing the expression in the numerator:

y² - 12y + 27 = y² - 9y - 3y + 27

⇒ y(y - 9) - 3(y - 9)

⇒ (y - 3)(y - 9)

Factorizing the expression in the denominator:

y² - 6y - 27 = y² - 9y + 3y - 27

⇒ y(y - 9) + 3(y - 9)

⇒ (y + 3)(y - 9)

Since they have (y - 9) as the common factor, we can simplify,

\frac{y^2 - 12y + 27 }{y^2 - 6y - 27}=\frac{(y-3)(y-9)}{(y+3)(y-9)}

⇒ (y - 3)/(y + 3) where y ≠ -3(denomiantor)

Here there are no more common factors except 1; this is the simplest form of the given rational expression.

3 years ago a father was 3 times as old as his son, in five years time he will be twice as old as his son, what will be the sum
ivolga24 [154]

Answer: 46 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the father's age be x and the son's age be y, then 3 years ago:

Father = x - 3

son     = y - 3

Then , from the first statement :

x - 3 = 3 ( y - 3 )

x - 3 = 3y - 9

x     = 3y - 9 + 3

x     = 3y - 6 .......................................... equation 1

In five years time

father = x + 5

son = y + 5

Then , from the second statement

x + 5 = 2 ( y + 5 )

x + 5 = 2y + 10

x       = 2y + 10 - 5

x       = 2y + 5 ........................ equation 2

Equating equation 1 and 2 , we have

3y -6 = 2y + 5

add 6 to both sides

3y = 2y + 5 + 6

subtract 2y from both sides

3y - 2y = 11

y = 11

substitute y = 11 into equation 1 to find the value of x

x = 3y - 6

x = 3(11) - 6

x = 33 - 6

x = 27

This means that the father is presently 27 years and the son is presently 11 years.

In four years time

father = 27 + 4 = 31

son = 11 + 4      = 15

sum of their ages in four years time will be

31 + 15 = 46 years
