STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are given the expression 16(30x24y)18(32x16y)\frac{1}{6}(30 x-24 y)-\frac{1}{8}(32 x-16 y). We need to simplify this expression to its equivalent form

STEP 2

First, we distribute the fractions in each term.16(30x24y)=1630x1624y\frac{1}{6}(30 x-24 y) = \frac{1}{6} \cdot30x - \frac{1}{6} \cdot24y18(32x16y)=1832x1816y\frac{1}{8}(32 x-16 y) = \frac{1}{8} \cdot32x - \frac{1}{8} \cdot16y

STEP 3

Now, simplify the multiplication in each term.
1630x=5x\frac{1}{6} \cdot30x =5x1624y=y\frac{1}{6} \cdot24y =y1832x=x\frac{1}{8} \cdot32x =x1816y=2y\frac{1}{8} \cdot16y =2y

STEP 4

Substitute these simplified terms back into the original expression.
16(30x24y)18(32x16y)=x4y4x+2y\frac{1}{6}(30 x-24 y)-\frac{1}{8}(32 x-16 y) =x -4y -4x +2y

STEP 5

Combine like terms.
5x4x=x5x -4x = x4y+2y=2y-4y +2y = -2y

STEP 6

Write the final simplified expression.
x2yx -2yThe expression 16(30x24y)18(32x16y)\frac{1}{6}(30 x-24 y)-\frac{1}{8}(32 x-16 y) is equivalent to x2yx -2y.
