| ① | Use the distributive property. |
| ② | Multiply $36$ by $ \dfrac{x^4}{9} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 36x^4 }{ 9 } $. 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. $$ \begin{aligned} 36 \cdot \frac{x^4}{9} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{36}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{x^4}{9} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 36 \cdot x^4 }{ 1 \cdot 9 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 36x^4 }{ 9 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ③ | Subtract $ \dfrac{36x^4}{9} $ from $ 63 $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ -36x^4+567 } }{ 9 }$. Step 1: Write $ 63 $ 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{-36x^4+567}{9} $ by $ x^5 $ to get $ \dfrac{ -36x^9+567x^5 }{ 9 } $. Step 1: Write $ x^5 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{-36x^4+567}{9} \cdot x^5 & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{-36x^4+567}{9} \cdot \frac{x^5}{\color{red}{1}} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ \left( -36x^4+567 \right) \cdot x^5 }{ 9 \cdot 1 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ -36x^9+567x^5 }{ 9 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ⑤ | Subtract $9x^3$ from $ \dfrac{-36x^9+567x^5}{9} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ -36x^9+567x^5-81x^3 } }{ 9 }$. Step 1: Write $ 9x^3 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
