anonymous · Answer

I am not being rude. I can explain it to you if you want.

anonymous · Answer

That was what i was looking for thank you :)

anonymous · Answer

okay. $$(a/b) \times (c/d) = (a \times c) / (b \times d)$$

anonymous · Answer

Alright. i understand that part :)

anonymous · Answer

so 36 a^2/7 * 5/18a = 36a^2 * 5 / 7 * 18a

anonymous · Answer

now, 36/18 = 2
and a^2/a = a*a/a = a

anonymous · Answer

so it becomes 2a*5 / 7 = 10a/7

anonymous · Answer

Ahhhhhh YAY! ok thank you very much for giving me the steps as well :) i get it now!

anonymous · Answer
