ok how bout with fractions :/

-5/8u + 1/3 = -1/8u + 3/2
add "1/8u" to both sides, then subtract 1/3 from both sides, then I multiplied both sides by 3, (9-2) then divide both sides by -3.


the answer is u= -7/3



don't let fractions frighten you.
It's -3/7.

ok I'll bite, can you show it?
numerators and denominators are treated like they're in parentheses. For it to be -7/3, it the formula would be:
(-5/8)u + 1/3 = (-1/8)u + 3/2
which it's not.

I'm going to assume that she meant 1/8 * u, as if she meant 1/(8u) I"m sure she would have typed it that way.

so, yeah: it is.

Denominators with terms are always under the summation they're in parentheses. They way she typed it is the way that works out to -3/7.

I think we can both get to 1/2u=-7/6. Which is viewed as 1/(2u)=-7/6.

I agree that we can both get to that, I disagree that it's viewed as that.

You're making the assumption that she meant the "u" to be under the denominator.

My calculator even disagrees, and I can type it in exactly the same way. (it's a little more advanced). We'll leave it as she typed it 1 way, everyone but you managed to understand what she meant and solved it as such.


probably best to drop it, as you'll prove nothing.

It has a term in the denominator. Viewed it would be 1/(2u) not (1/2)u, which is what you are getting. I'm sure she did mean it the way you think it is, but that's my reasoning for why I got a different answer, because I assumed correct use of invisible parentheses.

I got the correct answer for how it was written. I got the wrong answer for the way she should have written it because this site is a terrible way to format fractions.

I don't think she's saying her answer is right here, btw. She's saying that she assumed the correct use of invisible parentheses was being used, which is how she got her answer, lol.

I *** hate math!

One worker can do a job in 50 minutes, the other can do it in 30 minutes. How long will it take for them together?

I would gladly take spiders over math, any day of the week. I think I'd still like math over rice, though.

not really as it was written improperly, there is no "correct answer" for how it was written.

so yeah, like I said:

Don't worry Jet, the math program had it exactly what I typed. Thank you for the help on that problem and right answer.
