Please help. I'll give you a medal and fan.

@xapproachesinfinity

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Multiply both sides by hmn so that way we can get rid of the fraction

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

\(\sf\LARGE hmn (\frac{1}{h} = hmn(\frac{1}{m} + \frac{1}{n})\)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

what do you get? :P

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

\(\sf\LARGE hmn \frac{1}{h} = hmn(\frac{1}{m} + \frac{1}{n})\)***

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

\[h=\frac{ 1 }{ m }+\frac{ 1 }{ n }\]

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

wrong

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

\(\sf\LARGE hmn \frac{1}{h} = hmn(\frac{1}{m} + \frac{1}{n})\) we then get \(\sf\Large mn = hn + hm\) factor out h from the right hand side

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

I need you to cooperate with me...

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Sorry, I'm not the best at literal equations...

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

that is not an excuse...

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

can you factor out h from hn + hm? hint: ab + ac = a (b+c)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

we are solving for h, so how can we have `h` in the equation? so once again, wrong

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

also, if you will only post your final answer, then also include your work along with it :)

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

\[h=mn=n+m\]

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

uhhh, also, there is no need to delete your replies

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

You seem very critical, sorry :)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @shaleiah \[h=mn=n+m\] \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) this is incorrect also

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @TheSmartOne can you factor out h from hn + hm? hint: ab + ac = a (b+c) \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) please do this

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

I may seem very critical because you are not cooperating. We would have gotten the answer a long time ago if you did what I told you to do :P

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

\[hn+hm=h(n+m)\]

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

\(\sf\Large mn = h(n+m)\) now fivide both sides by (n+m) and that will be your answer :)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

thanks for cooperating now :)

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

\[h=\frac{ mn }{ n+m}\]

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

and that is your answer! :D
