Simplify the complex fraction.
EXAMPLE X+2 -------------- X ^2 - X -6 FACTOR ---------------- X - 9 -------- X + 3 X + 2 --------- SIMPLIFY (X + 2 ) ( X - 3 ) 1 --- X - 3 -------- DIVIDE X - 9 ----- X + 3 1 X + 3 ----- * ----- WHEN YOU DIVIDE ( MULTIPLY IT FLIPS) X - 3 X - 9 X + 3 -------- (X - 3 )(X - 9)
THAT WAS AN EXAMPLE IT WAS NOT YOUR MATH PROBLEM
one more time!!
KeemoD143 did you get that simplified? If you did let's see what you came up with.
1.write your problem out 2. realize you have a fraction ion the neumerator and denominator on both the top and bottom 3.the denominator on the top fraction needs to be factored 4.so if you have (5/6)/6/5) in order to solve this type of problem you need to flip the bttom fraction and cancel out any similar terms and them MULTIPLY the to quantities together. (5/6) times 5/6) which equals 25/36. this gives you and idea like iforgot tried to give you.
