Understand the problem

3x(yz+3z:zx)=? 3x-(y\cdot z+3z:\frac{z}{x})=\text{?}

Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we begin by simplifying the expression inside the parentheses: yz+3z:zx y \cdot z + 3z : \frac{z}{x} .

First, evaluate the division: 3zzx \frac{3z}{\frac{z}{x}} . This can be simplified by multiplying by the reciprocal, yielding 3zxz=3x 3z \cdot \frac{x}{z} = 3x .

The expression inside the parentheses becomes yz+3x y \cdot z + 3x .

Now substitute this back into the entire expression: 3x(yz+3x) 3x - (y \cdot z + 3x) .

Apply the distributive property to the negative sign, resulting in: 3xyz3x 3x - y \cdot z - 3x .

Combine like terms: 3x3xyz 3x - 3x - y \cdot z simplifies to yz - y \cdot z .

Thus, the solution to the given expression is yz -yz .
