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