Part B. SOLVING SKILLS:
Solve the following problems as instructed. (2 points each)
x− y
1. Simplify:
y−x

x− y (x − y ) 1
Solution: y−x = −1 ( x− y ) = −1 = -1

x2 −9 5
2. Find the product: ∙
15 x−3

x2 −9 5 ( x−3 ) ( x+3) 5
Solution: ∙
15 x−3
= ∙
x−3
= (x +3)
(3)(5) 3

3. Express the sum in reduced form:

3 a+1 5
2 + 2 a+2
a +2 a+1

3 a+1 5 3 a+1 5
Solution: 2 + 2 a+2
= ( a+1 ) ( a+1 ) + 2 ( a+ 1 )
a +2 a+1
