ok but that explains noting to me I have no idea how you got any of that..?

anonymous · Answer

I have never done a problem like this and nobody's taught me how that's kinda why I need somebody to walk me through it all

radar · Answer

You have a fraction and part of that fraction is 38/-19  That part must be worked out just as if it had been 8/-2 would equal 4.  It is division.

What grade are you in?

anonymous · Answer

suppose to be a junior but I haven't been in school for a year and forgot everything

anonymous · Answer

ok what do I do after I divide?

radar · Answer

You have been presented a fraction which contains both numerical and literals values.
the 38/19 is the numerical portion and is the coefficient, this would be no different than reducing 2/4 to 1/2.  You are to divide both numerator and denominator by a common number that will go into both of them thus simplifying the fraction.|dw:1413293764304:dw|
