Multiply 20/5 by nine so 20/5 simplify into 4 4 times nine is 36, so only 36 kids liked the book
Notice that we can simplify both numerator and denominator of our rational function. In the numerator we have a quadratic expression of the form

. To to simplify it, we are going to find tow numbers that add to 2 and multiply to -8; those numbers are 4 and -2.

In the denominator we have a difference of squares:

Now we can rewrite our function:

From the simplified form of our rational function we can infer that its graph has two vertical asymptotes at

and
We can conclude that the graphic of our rational function is:
The first step to solving this is to remember our mathematical rules. They state that when the term has a coefficient of -1,, the number doesn't have to be written but the sign needs to remain. This will change the expression to the following:
x - v + 4 + 7y - 3
Now subtract the numbers 4 and 3 from each other.
x - v + 1 + 7y
Since this expression cannot be simplified any further,, the correct answer to your question would be x - v + 1 + 7y.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Well .03 is equal to 3/100 so it is already in simplest form
