Answer:

Answer: 9 (y - 2) (y + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

9 y^2 - 36

Factor 9 out of 9 y^2 - 36:

9 (y^2 - 4)

y^2 - 4 = y^2 - 2^2:

9 (y^2 - 2^2)

Factor the difference of two squares. y^2 - 2^2 = (y - 2) (y + 2):

Answer: 9 (y - 2) (y + 2)

let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then to do away with the denominators, let's multiply both sides by the LCD of all denominators.

$\stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 4+3}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{4}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{7}{4}-\cfrac{4}{5}=\cfrac{35}{20}-\boxed{?}\implies \stackrel{\textit{multipling both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{20}}{20\left( \cfrac{7}{4}-\cfrac{4}{5} \right)=20\left( \cfrac{35}{20}-\boxed{?} \right)} \\\\\\ 35-16=35-20\boxed{?}\implies 19=35-20\boxed{?}\implies -16=-20\boxed{?} \\\\\\ \cfrac{-16}{-20}=\boxed{?}\implies \cfrac{4}{5}=\boxed{?}$
