This week in math 11 we just started factoring. So far factoring seems pretty easy but we haven’t gotten into addition or subtraction and we also haven’t gotten ‘ugly’ fractions. The reason multiplying and dividing is easier than adding and subtracting is you don’t need a common denominator and it’s easier to combine like terms. In this equation all you have to do is simplify  all the like terms and to make the division work with the other equations you flip the equation upside down. Once we simplify it out we are left with 5c + 6d in the numerator and 1 in the denominator and so the final answer is 5c + 6d.
