You can put this solution on YOUR website!
  • Use the "^" character to indicate an exponent (just like on a calculator).
  • Put multiple-term numerators and denominators in parentheses. Assuming "x2" and "n2" mean x%5E2 and n%5E2, what you posted meant:
    x%5E2%2B3n%2B2%2Fn%5E2%2B6b%2B8+-+2n%2Fn%2B4
    I suspect what you intended was:
    %28x%5E2%2B3n%2B2%29%2F%28n%5E2%2B6b%2B8%29+-+2n%2F%28n%2B4%29
  • Did you really mean to have three variables (x, n and b)?? I suspect not.
Please re-post your problem making sure the problem is correct and using the "^" and parentheses to make the expressions unambiguous.
