Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables. 9d2−7dd
Simplify Fraction: Simplify the expression 9d2−7dd. First, we need to simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator by the denominator. 9d2d simplifies to 9d1 because d in the numerator and one d in the denominator cancel out.
Combine Terms: Now we have 91d−7d. To combine these terms, we need a common denominator. Since 7d is not a fraction, we can write it as 17d.
Find Common Denominator: Find the common denominator for 9d1 and 17d. The common denominator is 9d. We need to adjust the second term to have this common denominator.
Adjust Second Term: Convert 17d to have the common denominator 9d. To do this, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 9d9d. 17d×9d9d=9d63d2
Subtract Terms: Now we have 9d1−9d63d2. We can subtract the second term from the first term because they have the same denominator. 9d1−9d63d2=9d1−63d2
Simplify Numerator: Simplify the numerator 1−63d2. The numerator does not simplify further because 1 and 63d2 are not like terms.
Final Expression: Write the final simplified expression.The final simplified expression is (1−63d2)/9d.
