| ① | Multiply $36$ by $ \dfrac{y}{10x-9y} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 36y }{ 10x-9y } $. Step 1: Write $ 36 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 36 \cdot \frac{y}{10x-9y} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{36}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{y}{10x-9y} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 36 \cdot y }{ 1 \cdot \left( 10x-9y \right) } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 36y }{ 10x-9y } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Add $ \dfrac{36y}{10x-9y} $ and $ \dfrac{40}{9y-10x} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ -360xy+324y^2+400x-360y } }{ -100x^2+180xy-81y^2 }$. To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
