math question

[heavy oasis]

9p+8q-p

[spark robin]

im happy to help but we need more context to help

[pliant hornet]

What are you solving for? Is it just simplification?

[heavy oasis]

The question is. Simplify the expression

[spark robin]

ah ok

[heavy oasis]

Also 6u+3v-2u

[pliant hornet]

$9p+8q-p\ \text{First, group the like terms}\ 9p+8q-p\=8p+8q\ \text{Then, take out common factors, in this case, it is 8}\ 8p+8q\= 8(p+q)$

[spark robin]

tangerine ill let you do this, more people seems overkill

[heavy oasis]

Tysm. Also this if u mind.

[tough plume]

8p + 8q
= 8(p + q)💀

what a simplification

[heavy oasis]

Is it correct or something

[tough plume]

it is but it is something stupid to say

like why would they ask to simplify that

[pliant hornet]

$6u+3v-2u\ \text{First, group the like terms like the last question}\ 6u+3v-2u\= 4u+3v\ \text{You are now done, since there are no common factors to take out}$

[heavy oasis]

Tysm guys!

[heavy oasis]

I appreciate it

[pliant hornet]

Factorising is an important part of simplification

[tough plume]

you literally have to subtact 6 by 2

like..

[pliant hornet]

Everyone had their first time learning a new topic.

[tough plume]

factorizing 8p + 8q? 🤣

[pliant hornet]

Yeah? Youre supposed to take 8 out

[tough plume]

but that's just stupid in this case

[heavy oasis]

Stop arguing lmao. My teacher doesn't even give a shit, she just needs the answer

[tough plume]

in polynomials it is important

so whenever you have 10x + 10 you will write it as 10(x + 1)?

[heavy oasis]

I mean u can

[spark robin]

dude learning the concept is important, you cant just give the answers

[tough plume]

so a polynomial like x^2 - 2x - 2 will be written like this:
x^2 -2(x + 1)

that's just non sense "simplifications"

[tough plume]

I know but at least some actual handy exercises like
20x^2 + 3x = 0

[spark robin]

thats a good point

but everyone is at their own level, everything takes time

[tough plume]

I was just saying that it was useless. If it was ur teacher that asked u to simplify that then I would slap the teacher

that's a joke but i would want to 😭

[spark robin]

i mean lil bro is in middle school, stuffs still pretty simple there

[pliant hornet]

For example factorising $2xy^{2} + 3x^{2}y + x^{3}$ would be\ $x(2y^{2} + 3xy + x^2)$, which can be further simplified into\ $x(x+2y)(x+y)$\ which cannot be directly seen from the original expression

[heavy oasis]

..

[spark robin]

wait did i say something wrong?

[pliant hornet]

@tough plume

Oops wrong ping

[tough plume]

no, you're okayy

[heavy oasis]

Nah continue discussing Ur hypothesis with each other

[spark robin]

wait what hypothesis

im confused

[pliant hornet]

Even if factorising “x” out seems stupid, it does contribute a lot to factorising the expression

[heavy oasis]

Monke. We get it. You are the best math dude and anything u say is correct

[tough plume]

i never said it was wrong. it was just useless to factorize 8q + 8p

imo

[spark robin]

its fundamentals, i still think its important

it shows what you can and cant join together

[tough plume]

it is really useful but if you just want to subtract something then there is not really a point into factorizing the result

[pliant hornet]

Typed all that latex on mobile just to be ignored

[heavy oasis]

Tbh. The only math required in the future is multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. Unless u wanna be a nerdy algebra teacher with huge glasses and a weird ass suit
