Question

Simplify: 11y-110/50-5y

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{11y-110}{50-5y}=-\frac{11}{5}$

Explanations:

Given the following expression show below;

$\frac{11y-110}{50-5y}$

Factor out the GCF from both the numerator and denominator

$\frac{11(y-10)}{5(10-y)}$

This can also be expressed as;

$\begin{gathered} \frac{11(-10+y)}{5(10-y)} \\ \frac{-11(10-y)}{5(10-y)} \end{gathered}$

Cancel out the common expression

$\frac{-11\cancel{(10-y)}}{5\cancel{(10-y)}}=-\frac{11}{5}$

Hence the simplified form of the expression is -11/5
