simplify: 6-y/6/1/6-1/y
6-y/6*6y/y-6= 6y/6=y
Is this correct help i need help!!
answers: A. -y
B. y
C. -6/y
D. -1/y
which one?
To simplify the expression 6 - y/6 ÷ 1/6 - 1/y, you can follow the order of operations, which is commonly known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, and Addition and Subtraction from left to right).
1. Simplify within parentheses (if any): There are no parentheses in the expression.
2. Simplify the division with fractions: Inverting the second fraction and multiplying, you have:
6 - y/6 * 6/1 * 6 - 1/y = 6 - y/6 * 36 - 1/y
3. Simplify the multiplication from left to right:
6 - y/6 * 36 - 1/y = 6 - 6y/6 - 36/y
4. Simplify the division: Simplify both fractions within the subtraction:
6 - 6y/6 - 36/y = 6 - y - 36/y
5. Combine like terms: The terms "y" and "-36/y" cannot be directly combined because they have different denominators. Therefore, we cannot simplify further.
So, the simplified expression is 6 - y - 36/y.
Now, comparing this result with the options given:
A. -y
B. y
C. -6/y
D. -1/y
We can see that none of the options matches exactly with the simplified expression. It's possible that there might be an error in the expression or the given options.
