Q. Divide.x2−12xy+35y2x2−3xy−18y2÷5x−25yx+3ySimplify your answer as much as possible
Factor Numerator and Denominator: Factor both the numerator and the denominator of the first fraction.Numerator: x2−3xy−18y2 can be factored into (x−6y)(x+3y).Denominator: x2−12xy+35y2 can be factored into (x−5y)(x−7y).Now the expression is (x−5y)(x−7y)(x−6y)(x+3y)×x+3y5x−25y.
Factor Common Factor: Factor out the common factor in the second fraction's numerator.5x−25y can be factored into 5(x−5y).Now the expression is (x−5y)(x−7y)(x−6y)(x+3y)×(x+3y)5(x−5y).
Cancel Common Factors: Cancel out the common factors in the numerator and the denominator.(x+3y) cancels out, and (x−5y) cancels out.Now the expression is (x−7y)(x−6y)×5.
Multiply Remaining Factors: Multiply the remaining factors.5×(x−6y)/(x−7y)=5x−30y/(x−7y).
