Can someone help me solve this problem that I made? It is -1/a^3 + 1/a^2 + 1

Question

anonymous · Answer

Why did you make it?
And if you made it why can't you solve it?

poopsiedoodle · Answer

Because I was told to make it. I suck at adding and subtracting fractions with variables.

anonymous · Answer

you made it from scratch ?

anonymous · Answer

what do you want to solve for ?

poopsiedoodle · Answer

I just need to simplify it, and yes, I just made it up.

anonymous · Answer

simplify? I wasn't able to really make it *simpler*, but I did find other ways of writing it, like (a^3+a-1)/a^3 or -(-a^3-a+1)/a^3 ... those are the alternative forms. :)

anonymous · Answer

so (a^3+a-1)/a^3 is the answer

Okay, I guess that works :P Thanks
