    Default Stress over math problems for the last 3 hours.

    Seriously, I feel very stupid. I've been stressing over five problems for the past three hours. I even tried googling the topics and notes but nothing seems to help.


    So the topic is Rational Expressions, I have to solve them.


    All I need is one-two prime examples and then I can finally do the last few.

    1/c + 1/3c = 2/3

    &

    y squared - 2 / y squared - 16 = y - 2 / y - 4



    Any help is appreciated and will lessen the stress.
    Math isn't my strong point...

    Last time I had a problem I couldn't solve I used my penis to puncture a hole in the paper where the problem was.

    Therefore destroying the problem.

    I showed my male superiority.

    Kn7ght. You're hilarious mister. No more out of you tonight or I'll have to punish you.

    Jakuza, I'm not in Algebra at the moment so I've yet to learn this. However, I just used some logical thinking and figured out the first one. I'm currently doing the second one, and if I figure it out I'll be sure to give you the answer. Anyway, here is how I did the first one.

    Starting problem:

    1/C + 1/3C = 2/3
    1/C(1/1 + 1/3) = 2/3 Factor out the 1/C (Distributive Property)
    (1/1 + 1/3) = 2C/3 Multiply both sides by 'C' to try and isolate 'C'.
    3(1/1 + 1/3) = 2C Multiply both sides by '3'
    3/1 + 3/3 = 2C Distributive property to simplify
    3 + 1 = 2C Simplify
    4 = 2C Simplify
    2 = C Isolate 'C'


    I'll try and get the other one later. Hope I've helped.

    math is a ****** and always will.

    it really sucks when you're home schooled, but it's worse when you're in public.
