Distribute the 2 on the top part of the equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it will be 32+26 at the top
OpenStudy (blondisaurus):
Remember that it's minus 6 not plus but yes
OpenStudy (blondisaurus):
minus 26**
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that is 6/9 + 4

Lol, im trying to help you solve it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol so I was right the first time do I set 32-26=13 then substitute it by adding 26 on both sides
OpenStudy (blondisaurus):
32-26= 6, I dont see where you keep getting 13
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I had squared 3^2+2^ I had added them and got 13 that's wea I got that from
OpenStudy (blondisaurus):
ok so yes the denominator is 13, the numerator is 6

I got 32/32 so will the answer be 1 becuz any number divided by it self is 1
OpenStudy (blondisaurus):
How did you get 32 on the top?!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I did 32-26=6 I added 26 on both sides and I brought my 32 down and I added 6+26 I got 32 for thatso 32/32=1
OpenStudy (blondisaurus):
You dont add 26 to anything now bring anything down
OpenStudy (blondisaurus):
32-26=6, that's it. Nothing else can be done

OpenStudy (blondisaurus):
The bottom portion is 3^2 thats 9,2^2 equals 4. Add them and thats the bottom portion

@grudge101
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got 13
OpenStudy (blondisaurus):
Ok, so the top is 6, the bottom 13. There you go

that's the answer 6/13
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2(16-13)/3^2 + 2^2 = 2(3)/9 + 4 = 6/9 + 4 = 42/9 = 14/3
