OpenStudy (anonymous):
can
(25h-8)/((3h)(h-2))
be simplified?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
doesn't look like it to me...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ 25h-8 }{ 3h ^{2}-6h }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then i factored out a
3h..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah I don't see much more you can do with it.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
me either

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so i got (25h-8)/3h(h-2)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think that's as good as it gets
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but that' s still not the right answer.... my program isn't taking it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ 25 }{3h-6 } - \frac{ 8 }{ 3h ^{2} -6h}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this is an expression though so you can't multiply by 3h

How did you get that? and You can multiply by 3h/3h which is 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but then you'd be back at the same expression
OpenStudy (anonymous):
actually I see what your saying you then want to take out 1/3h right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the original problem is
(21h+4h-8)/((3h)(h-2))
OpenStudy (anonymous):
why didnt you post that from the beginning :/

Ya, I deleted my post because I think it was a dead end
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so that gives you
(25h-8)/((3h)(h-2))
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh I think I see an answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
There must be a reason 21h and 4h is split up.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you need to get h-2 through factorization

OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ 21h +4(h-2) }{3h(h-2) }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ 21h + (h-2)(4) }{ 3h(h-2) }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
haha
OpenStudy (anonymous):
split up into 2 different fractions next
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that one got me

OpenStudy (anonymous):
now try to solve it mberdeja
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it's
(21+4)/(3h)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(21h+4)/(3h)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no you have to break up the fraction.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ 21 }{ 3h-6 } + \frac{ 4 }{ 3h }\]

no cause the h-2 cancels at the bottom and at the top
OpenStudy (anonymous):
your right but if you look the top is conjoined by an addition operator
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you cant just cancel terms unless the term is multiplied by the entire thing which it isn't
