I'm not sure how to simplfy into the form required from here.

Suggestion: To start, ## 1/(j \omega C)=-j/(\omega C ) ##. What yo have is correct so far. The rest is just algebra.

You are almost there. When you have a ## 1/j ## multiply by ## j/j ## and you get ##-j ##. That gives you ##-j \omega L/(\omega^2 LC-1) ##. Then just multiply through upstairs and downstairs by ## 1-\omega^2 LC ##.

Yeah, that's what I got too now. Not sure how I'm going to get all those terms on the top like in the final answer. The R is still in the denomintor so I can't even flip and multiply

See my edited post 4. It's simple.

Sorry about this. I still can't seem to get it through my head. Do you mean multiply the entire fraction(including the Vs) above and below by that or do I just multiply the fraction in the denomiator by that. I tried both and I'm still getting stuck :(

OR

The second way, and it immediately gives you the correct answer ! ##- j \omega L (1-\omega^2LC)/(\omega^2 LC-1)=j \omega L ##.

Ah! I see. Thank you! It's always the algebra problems..
