1. Hey gang, this isn't actually any of my college coursework, but these are some problems from
my son's 8th grade algebra homework that I can't seem to help him with. They are probably
simple, but I don't have to take a math until next semester, so I am really at a 15 year loss. Here
are a few more, please simplify:
a -4
c 0
=
(3x-2)/y =
7ab -2
/3w =
x -5
y -7
=
x -5
y 7
=
Thanks again oracle!!
Solution
a -4
c 0
= 1/a 4
(3x-2)/y = (3x-2) y -1
7ab -2
/3w = 7a/3wb 2
x -5
y -7
= 1/x 5
y 7
x -5
y 7
= y 7
/x 5
