Multiply whole equation by x-4 and then 2x+1 (would do this one step at a time but must conserve space here):

(2x+3)(2x+1)-(2x-8)(x-4)=(x-4)(2x+1)

Expand brackets:

(4x^2+8x+3)-(2x^2-1...

A diagram is often helpful to draw for questions like this. 1.) Volume. For the volume of a cylinder, you must first find the area of the face, and multiply by the length. The formula for this is Vol= πr^...

Recall Pythagoras' theorem. a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Think about this as a triangle, with a and b being the lengths of the 2 perpendicular sides, and c being the length of the hypotenuse. [Drawing on a whiteboard...

Take 2 equations say equation 1: 2y+4x=26 and equation 2: y+3x= 18. What we need to do is make either the two x values or the 2 y values be equal so that we can subtract one of the equations from the othe...

When simplifying algebraic fractions, first times all the components by the denominator (number on the bottom) of the first component. In this case, that is 3. x/3 times 3 = x and x/4 time 3 = 3x/4. This ...
