Question 141658: I need to simplify a sum involving three terms,
( 1/a squared b c ) - (2a/b squared c) - 3/a c
if there were two terms i would simply multiply top and bottom of each term by divisor of the other term.
with three terms should i try to make three terms into two? I am really stuck HELP
Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
( 1/a squared b c ) - (2a/b squared c) - 3/a c
[1/a^2bc] - [2a/b^2c] - [3/ac]
You need a least common denominator for each fraction:
lcm = a^2b^2c
-----------
ab^2c/lcm - 2a^3/lcm - 3ab^2/lcm
------------------------
[ab^2c -2a^3 - 3ab^2]/lcm
