Question 194088: I have a problem where I am supposed to write each rational expression in lowest terms after factoring. The problem is:
m^2 - n^2 - 4m - 4n
--------------------
2m - 2n - 8
The back of the book gives an answer of m +n but I can't figure out how to get it ------
2
I can get as far as
(m - n)(m + n)-4(m + n)
-----------------------
2(m - n - 4)
and I do not know how to simplify further
Thanks in advance for the help and I apologize if I submitted this in the wrong place

Question 197810: Kathy has 5 liters of 32% acid solution and she also has a large amount of a 26% acid solution. How many liters of the 26% solution can Kathy mix with the 5 liters of 32% solution in order to produce a 50% acid solution? I know that there is no solution due to the fact that combining solutions of 26% and 32% will never create a solution of greater concentration then 32% however I need to know how to set up the system of equations to solve this problem regardless of the outcome. What are the two equations?

Question 198341: Solve the system of equations using the addition (elimination) method.
If the answer is a unique solution, present it as an ordered pair: (x, y). If not, specify whether the answer is "no solution" or "infinitely many solutions" and state how you arrived at that conclusion.

Question 200095: Hi, thanks for your time here is the question-
Teresa Sanchez sells two sizes of outdoor doghouses: large and small. The
large size requires 12 board-feet of lumber and takes 3 hours to build. The
small size requires 8 board-feet of lumber and takes 1 hour to build. Teresa
can use 48 board-feet of lumber each day and plans to spend at most 9 hours
per day building dog houses.
3. Model the situation above. Your algebraic model should be a system of
four inequalities. (Remember that Teresa cannot build a negative number
of dog houses.)
We were thinking that two of the inequalities would be 2l + 8s less or equal to 48 and 3l + s less or equal to 9 -but have no idea what the other two would be

Question 201190: Hey guys and girls, I have a bit of a problem here I have 50 home work questions that I have to submit by mid-night and I'm in a bit over my head at this point with both my summer classes and there finals tonight and tomorrow. If any body can help me with a few of these problems I would be very, very greatfull!I have to solve the follwing A,{Y=^X2+4X-5 & Y=-X^2+12X-11] B, {X^2+Y^=193 &X-Y=5} C, {X*Y=45 & 3X-Y=-6} D,{X*Y=8 & X^2+Y^2=65} E, {X+Y=-8 & (X-2)^2+(Y+7)^2=5}
I know this is not normal but I have to be at school to take one of my finals and I,m not too good at the substitution method these questions would probabley take me 2 hours to get the correct solutions not to mention the other 46 problems I have to solve! So if anybody is generous enough to help me with these solutions THANK YOU!!! fyi summer sessions are horrible....
