  • Graphical form: \"%28%283%2Fx%29-%284%2Fy%29%29%2F%28%284%2Fx%29-%283%2Fy%29%29\" simplifies to \"%283%2Fx-4%2Fy%29%2F%284%2Fx-3%2Fy%29\"
  • Text form: ((3/x)-(4/y))/((4/x)-(3/y)) simplifies to (3/x-4/y)/(4/x-3/y)
  • Cartoon (animation) form: \"simplify_cartoon%28+%28%283%2Fx%29-%284%2Fy%29%29%2F%28%284%2Fx%29-%283%2Fy%29%29+%29\"

DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"%28highlight_red%28+%283%2Fx%29+%29-%284%2Fy%29%29%2F%28%284%2Fx%29-%283%2Fy%29%29\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around terms \"highlight_red%28+3%2Fx+%29\"
It becomes \"%28highlight_green%28+3%2Fx+%29-%284%2Fy%29%29%2F%28%284%2Fx%29-%283%2Fy%29%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"%283%2Fx-highlight_red%28+%284%2Fy%29+%29%29%2F%28%284%2Fx%29-%283%2Fy%29%29\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around terms \"highlight_red%28+-4%2Fy+%29\"
It becomes \"%283%2Fx-highlight_green%28+4%2Fy+%29%29%2F%28%284%2Fx%29-%283%2Fy%29%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
