SIMPLIFING+EQUATIONS

Examples . Note: You can only cancel and/or reduce numbers and variables on the top and bottom of the fraction when multiplying. You cannot reduce when adding or subtracting unless you can reduce on each side of the sign.

Ex...t+2 ......---... is in simplest form. .........2 . 2t+2 ---..can be simplified to t+1 ..2 . 16 x^6 y^2 ......16 x x x x x x y y....... 2 x x x ....... 2 x^3 ..=..--...=...---..=... -- 24 x^3 y^5 .......24 x x x y y y y y .......3 y y y ........ 3 y^3

3 c^4 ...... d^6 ...........3 c^4 d^6 .......... c^2 d^4 * -- ..=.. ....=... -  2 d^2 .... 6 c^2 ..........12 c^2 d^2............... 4

5(5^(c+1))^(c-1) 5(5^(c^2-1)) 5^c^2 . 2(4^k +4^k) 4(4^k) 4^(k+1) . t^(2n+1) t^(n-1) ....t^3n - = --- = t^2n ........t^n.............. t^n .
