I remember that! Can I help?

XD I'm not having trouble so much as, "Oh god, that is so much work..." And normally I'm fine with everything down, it's just... No. I'll do it at lunch tomorrow. Maybe. Sometime.

I do have one question though.

If it's something like:

[(x+7)(x+3)(x+4)(x-3)] - [(x+7)(x-2)(x-4)(x-4)]
---------------------------------------------------------------
(x+7)(x+3)(x-4)(x-4)

On the numerator, can I just cross out the two (x+7)'s and be done with them? Or do I have to multiply them all together because the answer will be different?

[EndOfTheEarth]

You can pull out the (x+7)s. Think of it at the same as (2x-2y)/2z.

Btw:
[(x^2-9)(x+4)]-[(x^2-8x+16)(x-2)]
---------------------------------------------
(x^2-8x+16)(x+3)

(x^3+4x^2-9x-36)-(x^3-10x^2-32)
---------------------------------------------
x^3-5x^2-8x+48

-6x^2-9x-4
---------------
x^3-5x^2-8x+48

[Xuut]

Okay. This explains why when I did it made everything wrong. The rest is less horrible because I am given (x-4)(x-4) and what not in their original form. I had to factor first. >.>

Thank you. :D

Debate! Homecoming! Costumes! Haircuts! Halloween! School! Busy busy week :D

[Contradiction]

You're just now having homecoming?

Wow. We had ours in the mid-end-ish of September.

[Doomy]

Yeah, it's on the 29th...

[Contradiction]

I actually wish we had ours later in the year...

[Throne_Spaz]

Agreed.

Why can't we be born knowing everything we learn in school?^^

[EndOfTheEarth]

In the future, there'll be a way for them to encode all of it directly into your brain.

And I'll finally get my flying car.

[EndOfTheEarth]

Screw that. Teleporters FTW.
