| ① | Use the distributive property. |
| ② | Multiply $8$ by $ \dfrac{y^2}{10} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 8y^2 }{ 10 } $. Step 1: Write $ 8 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 8 \cdot \frac{y^2}{10} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{8}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{y^2}{10} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 8 \cdot y^2 }{ 1 \cdot 10 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 8y^2 }{ 10 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ③ | Subtract $ \dfrac{8y^2}{10} $ from $ 4 $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ -8y^2+40 } }{ 10 }$. Step 1: Write $ 4 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ④ | Multiply $ \dfrac{-8y^2+40}{10} $ by $ y $ to get $ \dfrac{ -8y^3+40y }{ 10 } $. Step 1: Write $ y $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{-8y^2+40}{10} \cdot y & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{-8y^2+40}{10} \cdot \frac{y}{\color{red}{1}} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ \left( -8y^2+40 \right) \cdot y }{ 10 \cdot 1 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ -8y^3+40y }{ 10 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ⑤ | Subtract $5$ from $ \dfrac{-8y^3+40y}{10} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ -8y^3+40y-50 } }{ 10 }$. Step 1: Write $ 5 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
