It is when you can divide fractions easier. Here is an example (the slash is just a different sign to show division):

$\frac{2}{5}

$ ÷ $\frac{5}{6}$ = $\frac{2}{5}$ x $\frac{6}{5}$ = $\frac{12}{25}$

Sorry if you can not see it... but it is basically Keep (fraction) , Change (division symbol to a multiplication symbol) , Flip (fraction)

Explain two ways you could solve 24=6(-3+x)

Bumek [7]

You could either divide the 6 on each side and have 4=-3+x, so x=7, or you could distribute the 6 into the expression, so 24=-18+6x. Then 42=6x, and x=7.

Regard y as the independent variable and x as the dependent variable and use implicit differentiation to find dx/dy. x3y2 − x4y

Flauer [41]

$\bf x^3y^2-x^4y=4xy^3=0\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\left( 3x^2y^2+x^32y\frac{dy}{dx} \right)-\left( 4x^3y+x^4\frac{dy}{dx} \right)+4\left( 1\cdot y^3+x3y^2\frac{dy}{dx} \right)=0
\\\\\\
2x^3y\frac{dy}{dx}-x^4\frac{dy}{dx}+12xy^2\frac{dy}{dx}=4x^3y-3x^2y^2-4y^3
\\\\\\
\cfrac{dy}{dx}\left( 2x^3y-x^4+12xy^2 \right)=4x^3y-3x^2y^2-4y^3
\\\\\\
\cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{4x^3y-3x^2y^2-4y^3}{2x^3y-x^4+12xy^2}$
