| ① | Multiply $10$ by $ \dfrac{d}{4d^2+5d-9} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 10d }{ 4d^2+5d-9 } $. Step 1: Write $ 10 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 10 \cdot \frac{d}{4d^2+5d-9} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{10}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{d}{4d^2+5d-9} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 10 \cdot d }{ 1 \cdot \left( 4d^2+5d-9 \right) } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 10d }{ 4d^2+5d-9 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Subtract $ \dfrac{10d}{4d^2+5d-9} $ from $ \dfrac{4}{4d+9} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ -6d-4 } }{ 4d^2+5d-9 }$. To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
