Answer

$\dfrac{3\sqrt{3y}}{y}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: For all non-negative real number $a$, $\sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{a} = a$ Rationalize the denominator by multiplying $\sqrt3y$ to both the numerator and the denominator. Simplify using the rule above to obtain: $\require{cancel} =\dfrac{9 \cdot \sqrt{3y}}{\sqrt{3y} \cdot \sqrt{3y}} \\=\dfrac{9\sqrt{3y}}{3y} \\=\dfrac{\cancel{9}\sqrt{3y}}{\cancel{3}y} \\=\dfrac{3\sqrt{3y}}{y} $
