Help me!!! @Hero

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

Hi Hero! :D

hero (hero):

This is what I'm seeing: \[1*x - \frac{x}{1}\]

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

Yup!

hero (hero):

I wish I could see it the way your book wrote it.

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

It wrote it like how you wrote it

hero (hero):

But how you wrote it may not be the way the book wants it to be interpreted

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

True

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

It had it phrase just like how you saw it

hero (hero):

Well, let's see... What's \(1 \times x\)?

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

1x

hero (hero):

Yes, but... What if it was \(1 \times 8\) then what would you say?

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

8

hero (hero):

Okay, so \(1 \times 8 = ?\) \(1 \times 7 = ?\) \(1 \times 6 = ?\) \(1 \times 5 = ?\) \(1 \times x = ?\)

hero (hero):

Let me know what you get for \(1 \times x\)

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

I get it! x!

hero (hero):

Okay, good. Thank goodness we were able to get this far.

hero (hero):

Okay, now let's do the same thing for division.

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

Lol :P

hero (hero):

\(\dfrac{8}{1} = ?\) \(\dfrac{7}{1} = ?\) \(\dfrac{6}{1} = ?\) \(\dfrac{5}{1} = ?\) \(\dfrac{x}{1} = ?\)

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

x :)

hero (hero):

Okay, so if 1*x = x and x/1 = x then what is x - x?

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

OH!! And x-x=0

hero (hero):

Bingo

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

Wow! Thanks!

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

Thanks math guru!! :D
