You bet! Hold on second...

Answer 2

Is the 2 attached to the x? Is it 3/((2/x) + y) Or 3/(2/(x + y))

I see where I went wrong... I'm working on it :)

Thanks a bunch! :)

Answer 5

Hey! Sorry if I took too long- I got sidetracked with something else, but. I totally have what you're asking for! Here you go:
3/((2/x) + y) = 3/((2/x) + (xy/x))
= 3/((2 + xy)/x)
= 3(x/(2 + xy))
= 3x/(2 + xy)
There you go! :)
