Basically how do you simplify

Every number has factors. Some numbers share factors. To simplify a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator, each separately, by the factors they share in common. The only common factor, at the end, should be 1.

Here's an example:


I first divided by 9 and ten by x.

Here's an example of simplifying an equation:

x+(50/2)-20=2x-3+(9/3)
Start with parentheses
x+25-20=2x-3+3
Now combine like terms
x+5=2x+0
Move like terms on the same sides
5=2x-x
Combine again
5=x
So, we end with the simplified equation: x=5

Hope that helps :)

Thats where they was ported and the fields that noone really knew much about needed tended, so they put slaves out there do free work and huge profits and so on the north decided to hold its own and was more different way of survival did not have same climate conditions to afford protecting slaves from winter so expenses be diff from south
