| ① | Subtract $ \dfrac{44}{9} $ from $ t $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 9t-44 } }{ 9 }$. Step 1: Write $ t $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ② | Subtract $ \dfrac{22}{3} $ from $ t $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 3t-22 } }{ 3 }$. Step 1: Write $ t $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ③ | Multiply $ \dfrac{9t-44}{9} $ by $ \dfrac{3t-22}{3} $ to get $ \dfrac{27t^2-330t+968}{27} $. Step 1: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 2: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{9t-44}{9} \cdot \frac{3t-22}{3} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{ \left( 9t-44 \right) \cdot \left( 3t-22 \right) }{ 9 \cdot 3 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 27t^2-198t-132t+968 }{ 27 } = \frac{27t^2-330t+968}{27} \end{aligned} $$ |
