i don't think it get more simpler ....though i can make it more complicated in a simpler manner lol


                           1

But how do you get that answer?

anonymous · Answer

Turn it up side down and divide through.

When finished turn it back again.

anonymous · Answer

ie the reciprocal

anonymous · Answer

so is it like you factored xyz out of xy + yz + xz?

anonymous · Answer

In a way but all we are really doing is rewriting your expression in a different form.

U might or might not regard this form as being "simpler" (I think it would depend on what u were going to do with the equation next).
