| ① | Multiply $3$ by $ \dfrac{y}{6y+1} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 3y }{ 6y+1 } $. Step 1: Write $ 3 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 3 \cdot \frac{y}{6y+1} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{3}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{y}{6y+1} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 3 \cdot y }{ 1 \cdot \left( 6y+1 \right) } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 3y }{ 6y+1 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Subtract $9y+2$ from $ \dfrac{3y}{6y+1} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ -54y^2-18y-2 } }{ 6y+1 }$. Step 1: Write $ 9y+2 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
