Step-by-step explanation:
1.) First, you need to take the whole numbers (9 and 1) and set them aside.
2.) Multiply the numerators from each fraction by one another. The numerators are the numbers on the top of the fraction. (Whatever you get on that will be the numerator of the answer!)
3.) Multiply the denominators by each other as well. The denominators are the numbers on the bottom. This will be the denominator of your answer.
4.) Now, you need to multiply your whole numbers (9 and 1) together.
5.) Then, simplify or reduce your answer. (this can't be simplified, as it is already in its simplest form)
Your answer will be 9 1/66.
Your work should look like this in the end:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First: multiply both sides by 4. 4 times c is 4c and the other sides cancels out as you are doing the inverse operation of division
Then, you have
Subtract both sides by a squared
DO NOT TAKE THE SQUARE ROOT! This is because it is a squared plus 3b so you have to do the inverse of addition
From that you get
Finally, divide both sides by 3.
You get
