Simplify each of the following:(i) (1/3y2 – 4/7y + 11) – (1/7y – 3 + 2y2) – (2/7y – 2/3y2 + 2)(ii) -1/2a2b2c + 1/3ab2c – 1/4abc2 – 1/5cb2a2 + 1/6cb2a – 1/7c2ab + 1/8ca2b

Answer»

(i) (1/3y2 – 4/7y + 11) – (1/7y – 3 + 2y2) – (2/7y – 2/3y2 + 2)

= 1/3y2 – 2y2 – 2/3y2 – 4/7y – 1/7y – 2/7y + 11 + 3 – 2

= (y2 – 6y2 + 2y2)/3 – (4y – y – 2y)/7 + 12

= -3/3y2 – 7/7y + 12

= -y2 – y + 12

(ii) -1/2a2b2c + 1/3ab2c – 1/4abc2 – 1/5cb2a2 + 1/6cb2a – 1/7c2ab + 1/8ca2b

= -1/2a2b2c – 1/5a2b2c + 1/3ab2c + 1/6ab2c – 1/4abc2 – 1/7abc2 + 1/8a2bc

= -7/10a2b2c + 1/2ab2c – 11/28abc2 + 1/8a2bc
