How do you divide (5x-5)/16div(x-1)/6? Algebra Rational Equations and Functions Division of Rational Expressions 1 Answer Tessalsifi Jun 3, 2015 Dividing by a/b is the same as multiplying by b/a Thus : =(6*(5x-5))/(16*(x-1)) =(6*5*(x-1))/(16*(x-1)) ( because 5*(x-1)=5x-5 ) =(30*(x-1))/(16*(x-1)) =30/16 ( we divide by x-1 on each side ) = 15/8 ( we symplify by dividing by 2 both numerator and denominator ) Answer link Related questions What is Division of Rational Expressions?
