Hello,
I am trying to help my daughter with homework, I've never had algebra, so I just do the best. I realize this is an easy problem, and I think I am just making it hard and confusing myself. The problem is:
3x
---
5y
for x = 1/5 and y = -1/2
I think I should reduce it to 16/5 * -2/11 getting -32/55, but that just doesn't seem right.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!
