I did the first equation x=/ 5
Nnesha (nnesha):
yes right so substitute x for 3
OpenStudy (destinyyyy):
Omg I see what I did.. 8 is the correct answer
Nnesha (nnesha):
yes right
OpenStudy (destinyyyy):
I miss read my own writing. I thought I wrote x^3 when it was x^2

Are the other two answers correct?
Nnesha (nnesha):
yes
OpenStudy (destinyyyy):
Okay.. For the other two questions I posted im stuck.
OpenStudy (destinyyyy):
I got to 10/ (x+h) - 10/x all over h
OpenStudy (destinyyyy):
lcd= x(x+h) .. My example does something weird so im stuck here

how did you get 10 ? can you please show the work so i can find the mistakes :=)
OpenStudy (destinyyyy):
Oh my gosh. Sorry it some how posted the same question twice and not the correct question 22.. One second
OpenStudy (destinyyyy):
OpenStudy (destinyyyy):
That picture above is the question I was talking about.. @Nnesha
Nnesha (nnesha):
oh alright wait a sec

Okay. Sorry about that
Nnesha (nnesha):
\[\huge\rm \frac{\color{ReD}{ \frac{ 10 }{ x+h }-\frac{ 10 }{ x}} }{ h }\]
first deal with the top red part find the common denominator
OpenStudy (destinyyyy):
x(x+h)
Nnesha (nnesha):
yes right so what about the numerator ?
Nnesha (nnesha):
\[\huge\rm \frac{\color{ReD}{ \frac{??? }{ x(x+h )} } }{ h }\]
multiply the numerator of first by denominator of the 2nd fraction
multiply the numerator of 2nd fraction by denominator of first fraction

Um what? I assumed it would leave me with 10x- 10(x+h) all over h
Nnesha (nnesha):
that's the numerator of top fraction \[\huge\rm \frac{\color{ReD}{ \frac{10x-10(x+h) }{ x(x+h )} } }{ h }\]
like this
OpenStudy (destinyyyy):
??? How do you still have x(x+h) shouldnt it cancel out?
Nnesha (nnesha):
how would you cancel out that ?
that's our common denominator
OpenStudy (destinyyyy):
Thats what happens when you get rid of fractions..

Nnesha (nnesha):
alright here is the example \[\huge\rm \frac{ a }{ b } +\frac{ b }{ d}\] \[\huge\rm \frac{ ad+ cb }{ bd }\]i would the common denominator
OpenStudy (destinyyyy):
Um okay?
OpenStudy (destinyyyy):
Whats the next step?
Nnesha (nnesha):
\[\huge\rm \frac{\color{ReD}{ \frac{10x-10(x+h) }{ x(x+h )} } }{ h }\]
we should change division to multiplication to do that you should multiply the top with the `reciprocal` of the bottom
OpenStudy (destinyyyy):
Bottom as in x(x+h) or h?

\[\huge\rm \frac{\color{ReD}{ \frac{ a }{ b }} }{ \frac{ c }{ d } }=\color{reD}{\frac{a}{b}}
\times \frac{d}{c}\] like this
