??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1 over 9 subtract 1 over x those two factors are then over 1 over 81 subtract 1 over x^2
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
multiply everything by x^2
x^2/9 -x = x^2/81 -1
x^2/9 - x^2/81 - x = -1
729x^2/81 - x^2/81 - x = 81
728x^2/81 - x = 81
this is seriously complicated-___-
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i know right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry

sory that's 729x^2/81 -x = -1....not 81...maybe you'll have an idea
OpenStudy (anonymous):
answer choices are : x+9 over 9 or 9 over x+9 or x+9 over 9x or 9x over x+9

please help
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nevermind i got it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1/9-1/x over 1/81-1/x^2
\[\huge\frac{\frac{1}{9}-\frac{1}{x}}{\frac{1}{81}-\frac{1}{x^2}}\]

is this your problem?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh you got it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea thanks can u help on my next question
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i suppose, post it

you're going to have to use parentheses so i know what you are asking...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1 over x-3 + 4 over x over 4/x - 1/x-3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\huge\frac{\frac{1}{x-3}+\frac{4}{x}}{\frac{4}{x}-\frac{1}{x-3}}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\huge\frac{\frac{x+4(x-3)}{x(x-3)}}{\frac{4(x-3)-x}{x(x-3)}}\]

\[\huge{\frac{x+4(x-3)}{x(x-3)}}*\frac{x(x-3)}{4(x-3)-x}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{x+4(x-3)}{4(x-3)-x}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{x+4x-12}{4x-12-x}=\frac{5x-12}{3(x-4)}\]

Do you understand how to do these?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you must multiply each term in the numerator by the LCD of both terms, same thing with denominator

i know how to setit up but i havent been able to find the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The lcd of both the numerator and denominator are x(x-3), they will cancel because they divide by each other
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is the answer 5x^3/14
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no the answer is as i wrote it in my last post
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it can't be factored any further
