x=1825+91/1217 y=7+2/3 z=1827+2/3 Is there any way to turn x into z only using the first two terms, andor a constant, and the operators ' + ', ' - ', ' * ', ' / '. I know I can take ((x)-(x mod 10)) + y = z, but this uses a modulus. ... Basically the core of the question is can I change any...

Typo Yeah, HallsofIvy was correct, I meant to say positive integers. This was an overlooked typo.

Poison Ivy Hallsoflvy, Why does it appear to make you angry that I do not know these things? I feel your answer was given with contempt, ridicule, and impatience. I admit and understand my own ignorance. That is why I came here to ask these questions... because I do not know how to solve them...

Thanks Thanks, JJacquelin. Cardano was the sort of thing I was looking for.When I solve using the transformations of the first I get this form though: (x)(C)+(1/x)*(C)-(x**2)*(C)=C Where C is any number, not necessarily itself. Here we have powers of 1, -1, and 2. Cardano solves cubics...

How do I find solutions for an equation like: x(1+1/y)+((y**3)/x)-(x**2)(4/y)=(y/2)-y+(4)(y**4)-4 Another, less complicated that I also am confused about is something like: x**3-x/y=1/y Can one simplify all equations to an x=... form? Can these equations be simplified to x=... or some...
