Short Answer B
Remark
I'm going to interpret this as
[tex] \frac{8(y + 5)}{[3*(3y + 7)]} [/tex]
Step One
Before removing the brackets, the easiest way to start is to substitute for y.
[tex] \frac{8(3 + 5)}{[3*(3*3 + 7)]} [/tex]
Step Two
Combine what's inside the brackets.
[tex] \frac{8(8)}{[3*(9 + 7)]} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{8(8)}{[3*(16)]} [/tex]
Step 3
Do the multiplication in both brackets in the top and bottom
[tex] \frac{64}{48} [/tex]
Step 4
Reduce by dividing both top and bottom by 16.
[tex] \frac{ \frac{64}{16} }{ \frac{48}{16} } [/tex]
The answer should be 4/3
