hero (hero):

Well, I can but let me see something real quick.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok.

hero (hero):

For one, you haven't properly written the equations.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i did.

hero (hero):

You need to use parentheses to properly distinguish the numerator from the denominator.

hero (hero):

No you haven't

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats how it shows on my hw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm. Ok tho :?

hero (hero):

I'll show you an example of what I mean: 4/ 3-x can be interpreted as: |dw:1327467281660:dw| There's no way to tell which is which. The only proper way to distinguish is by using parentheses. But you have to do that for ALL of them
