1. DanJS

for 2, group the numerators and denominaotors with parenthesis that have multiple terms

2. DanJS

quotient means divide, quotient of A and B is A/B Product is multiply

3. anonymous

So, would number 2 actually be "A?"

4. DanJS

quotient of 8 and the difference between x and m Division for the quotient, the difference of x and m is x-m the quotient of 8 and that difference is then 8 / (x-m)

5. DanJS

yes, but as typed, you have to put parenthesis around (x-m) or it is not the same

6. anonymous

Alright, thank you! but what about the other two? Math is one of my worst subjects in school.

7. DanJS

8/x - m = $\frac{ 8 }{ x }-m$ group the denominators for one line typing, lik eyou would put it into a ti-83 or something

8. DanJS

8/(x-m) =$\frac{ 8 }{ x-m }$

9. DanJS

what is the third problem then?

10. anonymous

Alright so, the third problem would be "B" right? x/6y

11. DanJS

yes, but remember to group the bottom , otherwise as you typed it would be x/6y = (x*y)/6
