7 over 5x squared -20x+20 plus 1 over 20x squared - 80
lol, the question is not clear >_<
7 over 5x squared minus 20x plus 20 add to 1 over 20x squared minus 80
i agree with sstarica because 7over 5x or 7over5 then an x ?
\[\frac{7}{5x^2} - 20x + 20 + \frac{1}{20x^2} - 80\]?
______7_____ 5x squared -20x+20 added to 1 over 20x squared - 80
so is sstarica right?
sorry for the confusion Ihavent quited figured out how to work this program yet
\[\frac{7}{5x^2-20x+20} + \frac{1}{20x-80}\]
yes
alright lol :)
how do you get horizontal bars for the fractions with the maths editor
frac{a}{b} <-- ^_^
\[\frac{7}{5(x-4)^2} + \frac{1}{20(x-4)}\]\[\frac{7}{5(x^2-4x+4)} + \frac{1}{20(x-4)}\]
wrong order lol
lol, I noticed
multiply top and bottom of second by x-4
it's actually (x-2)^2 :)
nvm LOL, I wrote the wrong question
yeh something like that , im going to go to sleep soon
no, wait, I wrote the right question >_<
(x-2)^2 ^_^" instead of (x-4)^2
its 1.40 in the morning where I am , I am too generous staying up this late to help ppls lol
lol, go to bed
\[= \frac{7(4)(x-4) + (x-2)(x-2)}{20(x-2)^2(x-4)}\] \[= \frac{28x - 112 +x^2 - 4x -4}{20(x-2)^2(x-4)}\] \[= \frac{x^2 + 24x -116}{20(x-2)^2(x-4)}\] hmm, there's something wrong
I'm not sure
did you understand what I just did?
not really i'm not very smart with algebra
I factored, then put both fractions with the same denominator to have them in one :)
write down the steps on paper, and you'll figure out what I did ^_^
wait a min, there's a mistake in the last 2 steps, hold on dear ^_^
I'm lost because under the 1 in 20x squared minues 80
\[= \frac{28x-112+x2-4x+4}{20(x-2)^2(x-4)}\]<-- for the second line
I factored, I pulled out 20 as a common factor and was left with (x-4) use the distributive law to check ^_^
\[= \frac{x^2+24x-108}{20(x-2)^2(x-4)}\]
sorry about the mess, but are you following now :)?
i think so, thank you so much
np ^_^, but there's still something fishy about it lol, I can't seem to factor the numerator
does the question want you to add only? or simplify?
simplify
hmm
I'm sure of the following steps I just made, but looks it can't be factored
thank you
