Question 152153: Solve for the variable I always get these mixed up do you have a fool proof method?
h=[S-(2)(pi)(r^2)]/2(pi)(r)] solve for S
I didn't have a symbol for pi available
h(2(pi)(r) = S-2(pi)(r^2)
h2(pi)r+2(pi)r^2 = S
is this right?

Question 152274: [(x^3 - 1)/(x^2 +1)] divided by (9x^2 + 9x + 9)/ (x^2 - x)
= (x-1) (x^2 + x +1)/(x^2 +1) divided by [ 9(x^2 + x + 1)]/[ x (x-1)]
= [(x-1)(x^2 + x + 1)/ (x^2 + 1) ] [x (x-1)/9(x^2 + x + 1)]
= [x (x-1)(x-1) / 9(x^2 + 1)]
can this be simplified more? is this correct?
