here :)

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

so because both sides are divided bu \[u-2\] you can ignore it and understand that the denominator is going to be \[u-2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4u+1/u-2

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

@heavenfun13 you are going to be reported for giving an immediate answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its just a answer

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

so you are going to focus on this equation. \[u-4-(-3u-5)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thxs for reporting for giving a answer

Miracrown (miracrown):

@heavenfun13 - It is better to guide the user to an answer rather than doing all the work yourself. We discourage giving out answers without letting the asker at least take some part in the analysis - the aim of this site is to teach. Please refer to our code of conduct at http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct for more information. Thank you.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

doesnt matter. code of conduct states that you dont give immediate anwers

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

@WhatEven are you still interested in my help?

Miracrown (miracrown):

Thanks for enforcing the rules, @RhondaSommer :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

no problem @Miracrown

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

\[u−4−(−3u−5)\] is what you are going to focus on :)

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

so what you are going to need to do first is distribute the (-) to the (-3u-5)

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

so -1*-3u and -1*-5 is what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Uhm... I'm not sure...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry just got your second comment

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

can you do that now?

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

-1*-3u is just 3u because a negative times a negative is a positive :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the other is just 5?

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

yup its gonna be 3u+5 instead of -3u-5 :)

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

so now your going to add u-5 to 3u+5 :)

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

add like terms u+3u -5+5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5+5 is 0...

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

yup :)

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

u+3u is what

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

oh whoops -4 + 5

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

not -5 smh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but that's one..

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

yes. so you have 3u+u + 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh nvm 1 was part of the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 3u+u is 4 right

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

:) do you have your answer?

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

yes it is

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

so your answer is...?

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

B! :)

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

or \[4u+1/u-2\]

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

medal me :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry my os lagged.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):
