Write the expression with only positive exponents and evaluate if possible. Assume all variables represent nonzero real
numbers.
-$\frac { \frac { y } { 8 } } { \frac { 9 } { y + 6 } }$
A) $\frac { y ( y + 6 ) } { 72 }$
B) $\frac { 9 y } { 8 ( y + 6 ) }$
C) $\frac { y + 6 } { 72 y }$
D) $72 y ( y + 6 )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To simplify the given expression, we invert the denominator and multiply: $\frac { y } { 8 } * \frac { y + 6 } { 9 }$. This simplifies to $\frac { y ( y + 6 ) } { 72 }$, which matches choice A.
