(12 over a-b+z) - (24 over b-a-z) pls help me
what are you trying to do?
subtraction of rational expressions
12/(a-b+z) - 24/(b-a-z) First multiply the first part by (b-a-z)/(b-a-z) And the second part by (a-b+z)/(a-b+z) (Finding common denominators) [12(b-a-z)/(b-a-z)(a-b+z)] - [24(a-b+z)/(a-b+z)(b-a-z)] Now subtract 12(b-a-z) - 24(a-b+z) --------------------- (b-a-z)(a-b+z) 12b -12a-12z - 24a + 24b - 24z Multiply the top... ---------------------------------------- (b-a-z)(a-b+z) 36b - 36a - 36z ...and simplify ------------------ (b-a-z)(a-b+z) 36(b-a-z) Pull out 36 --------------- (b-a-z)(a-b+z) 36 ----- and cancel out a-b+z
tnx. i got the reverse answer for this question hehe
