that is the original problem. here is how I solved it. I reduced the x values, taking the x out of the numerator and leaving one x in the denomenator. Then I factored the y values. Taking away the y in the denomenator and leaving y^2 in the numerator. then I mutiplied what I had gotten from factoring, which was (1y/2)(4y^2/1x). That gave me (4y^3/2x) which I reduced to (2y^3/x). Does that sound right?
