ok. i am becoming home schooled on the computer, and i have no idea how to do my math problems...
examples
3/12 + 3/4n what do i do with the n?
9/(4xa) - 3/4
To solve math problems like the ones you mentioned, you'll need to follow certain steps. Here's an explanation of how to approach each problem:
1. 3/12 + (3/4)n:
- First, simplify the fractions if possible. In this case, 3/12 can be simplified to 1/4.
- Now, the equation becomes 1/4 + (3/4)n.
- The n in the equation represents an unknown value that needs to be solved for.
- To isolate the n, you can subtract 1/4 from both sides of the equation.
2. 9/(4xa) - 3/4:
- Before solving this equation, it's important to understand that the "xa" in the denominator means the variables "x" and "a" are multiplied together.
- In this case, you need to find a common denominator for the two fractions, which is 4xa. Multiply the first fraction by (a/a) and the second fraction by (x/x), giving you (9a)/(4xa) - (3x)/(4xa).
- Now that you have a common denominator, you can subtract the fractions by subtracting their numerators and keeping the denominator the same. In this case, subtract (3x) from (9a), and the denominator remains (4xa).
Remember to simplify your answers and verify if additional steps are required based on the specific instructions or rules given.
