Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction
5.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x as the denominator :
3x3 - 11x2y + 11xy2 (3x3 - 11x2y + 11xy2) • x
3x3 - 11x2y + 11xy2 = ——————————————————— = —————————————————————————
1 x
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Pulling out like terms
6.1 Pull out like factors :
3x3 - 11x2y + 11xy2 = x • (3x2 - 11xy + 11y2)
Trying to factor a multi variable polynomial :
6.2 Factoring 3x2 - 11xy + 11y2
Try to factor this multi-variable trinomial using trial and error
Factorization fails
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
6.3 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
x • (3x2-11xy+11y2) • x - (2y3) 3x4 - 11x3y + 11x2y2 - 2y3

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
7.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x as the denominator :

2y = —— = ——————
1 x
Checking for a perfect cube :
7.2 3x4 - 11x3y + 11x2y2 - 2y3 is not a perfect cube
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
7.3 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
(3x4-11x3y+11x2y2-2y3) - (2y • x) 3x4 - 11x3y + 11x2y2 - 2xy - 2y3
