Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:10 Alright, let's solve this problem together.
00:13 Remember, division is like multiplying by the reciprocal. So, flip the second fraction and multiply.
00:30 Multiply the top numbers, or numerators, and the bottom numbers, or denominators. Step by step.
00:38 Now, look for a common factor. Let's take out the common factor, which is three, from the parentheses.
00:45 Great! Reduce what you can. We are almost there.
00:51 And there you have it! That's the solution to the question.

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's flip the fraction to get a multiplication exercise:

(a+b+c)×(23a+3b+3c)= (a+b+c)\times(\frac{2}{3a+3b+3c})=

We'll add the expression in the first parentheses to the numerator of the fraction:

2(a+b+c)3a+3b+3c= \frac{2(a+b+c)}{3a+3b+3c}=

We'll write the denominator of the fraction as a multiplication exercise:

2(a+b+c)3(a+b+c)= \frac{2(a+b+c)}{3(a+b+c)}=

Let's simplify a+b+c:

23 \frac{2}{3}

Answer

23 \frac{2}{3}
