OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you please explain step bye step i am rlly confused

OpenStudy (mrnood):

so can you start with this simplify \[\frac{ a }{ 2}-\frac{ b }{ 2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so it would be 2(a)-2(b)/2

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

No, When the denominators are the same, just sum up the nominator

OpenStudy (mrnood):

no the denominator is same for both terms...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is just a-b

OpenStudy (mrnood):

still keep the denominator...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 7-4

OpenStudy (mrnood):

it's \[\frac{ a-b }{ 2 }\] so compare that with your original equation what would be the equivalent of a & b from that equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it just me or is the site lagging

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so is it 3/2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello

OpenStudy (mrnood):

can you show me how you derived that?

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

You're right the answer is 3/2 x + 7 - x - 4/ 2 = 3/2
