B.O.B.- Muddiest Point


In this unit, I had difficulty doing some of the problems on the, “Get your Rational off my Rational Worksheet”.  I found it challenging to combine the like terms and to get the correct numerator.  For example in the problem:

((x+7)-(2x-7)/x-3)/ (10x-4)/(2x+3)

I had trouble simplifying the (x+7) - (2x-7).  For some reason, subtracting the -7 threw me off.  I did the problems on the worksheet several times and read over my notes and I finally figured things out.  I never imagined you could add, subtract, multiply and divide rational expressions, pretty cool!
