Question

Bytelearn · Accepted Answer

Rewrite as multiplication: Rewrite the division problem as a multiplication problem by taking the reciprocal of the second fraction. The original expression is (25j^3 - 5j^2)/(3j + 2) ÷ 5j^2. To divide by 5j^2, we multiply by its reciprocal, which is 1/5j^2. The new expression is (25j^3 - 5j^2)/(3j + 2) * 1/5j^2.Factor out common term: Factor out the common term in the numerator of the first fraction. The numerator 25j^3 - 5j^2 can be factored to 5j^2(5j - 1). The factored expression is (5j^2(5j - 1))/(3j + 2) * 1/5j^2.Cancel common terms: Cancel out the common terms in the numerator of the first fraction and the denominator of the second fraction. The 5j^2 in the numerator and the 5j^2 in the denominator cancel each other out. The simplified expression is (5j - 1)/(3j + 2).Check for further simplification: Check if the remaining expression can be simplified further. The expression (5j - 1)/(3j + 2) cannot be simplified further as there are no common factors and it is not possible to factorize the terms further.
