Thank you for your time and patience.:approve:

I believe I got it. The L.C.D. would be x^2(x-1)(x+2). Is this correct?

If I take your example and it was 1/6 + 1/15 my answer would be 7/30. 30 being the common denominator. As I understand it, 90 could be a common denominator but it is not the lowest. What should I do with the denominator in the original problem to make things more clear. I'm not cluing in. My...

Homework Statement 3/x^2+2x - 2/x^2+x-2 + 4/x^2(x-1) Find the lowest common denominator and solve. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I factored x(x+2) - (x-1)(x+2) + x^2(x-1) It looks like (x+2), (x-1) are common but what to do with the x & x^2 left over? Thank...

Thank you! Yes, I worked it out. $1,200. Much appreciated.

YES! Got it. Simple algebraic manipulation. Answer is $1,200. Thank you very much!

Thank you Statdad! This is what I had: n = 17 i= 0.041 P= P + $1,175.98 Am I on the right track. If I am I come out with this awkward looking formula: P+$1,175.98 = P(1+i)^n If this is correct then what? Many thanks

Homework Statement If the total interest earned on an investment at 8.2% compounded semiannually for 8.5 years was $1,175.98, what was the original investment? Homework Equations A=P(1+i)^n The Attempt at a Solution
