| ① | Multiply $ \dfrac{5}{3} $ by $ w $ to get $ \dfrac{ 5w }{ 3 } $. Step 1: Write $ w $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{5}{3} \cdot w & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{5}{3} \cdot \frac{w}{\color{red}{1}} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 5 \cdot w }{ 3 \cdot 1 } \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 5w }{ 3 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Multiply $ \dfrac{5w}{3} $ by $ x $ to get $ \dfrac{ 5wx }{ 3 } $. Step 1: Write $ x $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{5w}{3} \cdot x & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{5w}{3} \cdot \frac{x}{\color{red}{1}} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 5w \cdot x }{ 3 \cdot 1 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 5wx }{ 3 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ③ | Subtract $ \dfrac{5wx}{3} $ from $ 6x-6 $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ -5wx+18x-18 } }{ 3 }$. Step 1: Write $ 6x-6 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
