Question

TT, can you teach me more algebra or should i go to khan?

Answer 1

I like your enthusiasm!!

Answer 2

Me to!
I don't know what to give you, what was the last thing you worked on?

Answer 3

If i have to learn it i should at least try to make the best of it :D
TT, ill go check!

Answer 4

Oh right, the basic rules of algebra! Should i learn them now?

Answer 5

Yes, but you need to apply them.
how about...
3a(2/a)=?

Answer 6

3a(2/a)=a3/2

Answer 7

If its wrong, dont tell me why!

Answer 8

I need to figure that out.

Answer 9

okay... it's wrong
good attitude, let me make it more clear\[3a(\frac{2}{a})=?\]

Answer 10

Ah, 3a(2/a)=a!

Answer 11

not quite
we have an a on the top and one on the bottom.
what will happen to a?

Answer 12

Wait! Does this mean that it looks like this?

3a*2
---- =?
a

Answer 13

yes, absolutely, does that help you?

Answer 14

Yes! It becomes so much simpler!

3a*2
---- =3*2/a, right?
a

Answer 15

Or 3(2/a)

Answer 16

almost, but you have an 'a' on the top, and one on the bottom, so what will happen to 'a' ?

Answer 17

The a at the bottom will dissapear? Maybe it turns out like this:

3a*2
---- =2a*2
a

Answer 18

Oh pellet, thats wrong!

Answer 19

no, like you said, they disappear (called cancelling) what will be left?

Answer 20

But i thought you said i cant drop variables?

3a*2
---- =3*2?
a

Answer 21

YES!!

Answer 22

Sorry for the interruption. Is it correct to say "lining them up" @Turing?

Answer 23

YESSSS!!!!

Answer 24

which is what?
@no-data in what context? what is the sentence?

Answer 25

6

Answer 26

yes
true, I should have been more specific befor.
you can't drop a variable unless the math tells you to. for instance
3x+y=y
leads to
3x=0
so they can leave, but not unless you either divide them out (so they cancel) or cam turn it into zero.
My point was that if a variable can be dropped it will be. If not, it can't be.

Answer 27

I wanted to say that there is several ways of (Alining?) people.

Answer 28

Oh, now i get it.

Answer 29

@no-data
I'd say 'Line them up' or 'put them in order'
'align' works but it sounds a little strange

Answer 30

Gimme another one!

Answer 31

3x(5/x)

Answer 32

3x*5
---- =3*5=15!
x

Answer 33

Thank you Turing =)

Answer 34

@no-data anytime
@Inopeki
nice
now quickly
7y(3/y)

Answer 35

7y*3
---- = 7*3=21
y

Answer 36

Remember this Inopeki: \[\frac{a}{a}=1\]

Answer 37

no-data meant\[\frac{a}{a}=1\]which is a rule on the list I gave you

Answer 38

if \[a\neq 0\]

Answer 39

Yes^^^ dividing by zero is just plain against the rules. Always.
good
quick, what about
3(4/z) ???

Answer 40

Is it just me or is the server laggy?

Answer 41

Aw man.. i hit delete and past..

Answer 42

Give me a new one, quick

Answer 43

5(2/p)

Answer 44

5*2
---- =10p? what?
p

Answer 45

how did p move 'upstairs'?

Answer 46

Wait, thats wrong..

Answer 47

how? tell me.

Answer 48

I thought that i could take 5*2 and multiply that by p since p is "downstairs", but that was wrong.

Answer 49

The right answer would be 10/p

Answer 50

WAIT

Answer 51

no, it's right!!!!

Answer 52

Yes!!

Answer 53

how about...
5t(6/t)
5(4/s)
3r(9/x)
???

Answer 54

5t*6
---- = 5*6=30
t

Answer 55

5*4
---- =20/s
s

Answer 56

good!
last one...

Answer 57

3r*9
---- = 27r/x
x

Answer 58

Please say its right..

Answer 59

awesome!!!!
yes it's right :D

Answer 60

YESSSSSS!!!!!

Answer 61

Hell yeah!

Answer 62

Great, but I'm gonna keep going
so now a slightly different tune:
distribution:
simplify
x(3+t)
y(5+y)
p(r-p)

Answer 63

x3+xt?

Answer 64

yes!

Answer 65

y5+y2

Answer 66

pr-2p

Answer 67

the second one I think is right.
but why did for the third one you put the 2 in front of the p ?

Answer 68

if something is squared write it as x^2

Answer 69

Dont they mean the same thing?

Answer 70

did you mean 2p or did you mean p^2 (p squared)?

Answer 71

Oh right

Answer 72

So pr-p^2, i meant squared, its y*y

Answer 73

is it possible to give turning more than 1 medal hehe?

Answer 74

Lol was thinking the same thing

Answer 75

Hah, i wish!

Answer 76

I guess you could go to other threads that he answered.

Answer 77

right,
y5+y^2

pr-p^2
thanks fellas, but I'm doing my spanish homework, so I can't be focus on the tough stuff
purely selfish

Answer 78

focused*

Answer 79

every time i see this guy answering a question I know for sure the question is in safe hands :D I but i still come to that question to give him a medal as he deserves it hehe

Answer 80

Answer 88

Thanks :)

Answer 89

What is a turing test anyway?

Answer 90

Dont answer that if it has to do with science.

Answer 91

I will probably get way too interested.

Answer 92

A Turing test is a test for artificial intelligence. To see if a machine can think. By calling myself Turing Test it's a joke that I am actually a computer. maybe I am....
7p(r+p-7)

Answer 93

Simplify?

Answer 94

you know it!

Answer 95

7pr+7p^2-7*7

Answer 96

Come on....

Answer 97

yes!!!
you go ahead and multiply 7*7 though...

Answer 98

Hell yeah! 7pr+7p^2-49
