# Thread: Simplifying Expressions

1. ## Simplifying Expressions

Please help me with this Algebra I problem. I am supposed to come up with an answer of r/g. But I keep getting 3 r/g. I am trying to figure out what the formula is to come to this answer:

36 x 2rh
___________
3 x (9hg)

Thanks!

The expression you give won't give either of your answers:

$\frac{36\times 2\times rh}{3 \times 9\times hg}=\frac{4\times9\times 2\times rh}{3\times 9\times hg}=\frac{8r}{3g}$

I'm trying to figure out you're answer but I'm not sure how you got 4r when the two nines erase each other and you're left with 4x2.

Typo, should be 8
