| ① | Multiply $2$ by $ \dfrac{x-2}{9x^3} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 2x-4 }{ 9x^3 } $. Step 1: Write $ 2 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 2 \cdot \frac{x-2}{9x^3} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{2}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{x-2}{9x^3} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 2 \cdot \left( x-2 \right) }{ 1 \cdot 9x^3 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 2x-4 }{ 9x^3 } \end{aligned} $$ |
