The way that you would do this is by taking

out of the binomial, or as I like to think about it, 'un-distributing'. :p

out of

, you end up with

.
When you take

out of

, you get

.
Put it together, and the solution is

-

.
Hope I helped!!
I'll solve for y
xy+(4(20))>x-5y(2+9-7)
xy+4(20)>x-5y(2+9-7)
xy+4(20)>x-5y(4)
xy+4(20)>x-20y
xy+80>x-20y
xy+20y+80>x
y(x+20)>-80+x
y>(-80+x)/(x+20)
Data:
Apples = 28
Oranges = 20
Pears = 12
<span>What is the ratio of apples to the total pieces of fruit?
Solving:

The median is the number in the middle when all of the numbers are placed in order (from lowest to highest).
15; 17; 19; 42; 78; 85; 93
The answer in this case would be 42.
We have to rewrite the expression so that it has no denominator.
For example:
1 / x = x^(-1)
1/8 = 8^(-1); 1/x^(4) = x^(-4); 1/y^(3) = y^(-3); 1/z = z^(-1).
