Well, what topic did you miss?

Well, uh...
I can't help you if I don't know what to help with.
Contact your teacher, then. Ask what you've missed.
Email them.
Suppose you have a binary operation, which we'll call |.
Then | is commutative if A|B = B|A.
Well, commutativity is one of the basic properties of relations.
Is it from a test?
Hm... Well, still no, then.
We don't help on tests, quizzes, etc.
Well, ok. But I will not help you cheat on a quiz.
Again, doesn't matter. If it's a quiz, I'm not helping.
Being rude won't make me teach you, you know.
Either calm down or that's it.
Well, we have:
2/9 + (-1/3) = x + 2/9
To find x, subtract 2/9 from both sides of the equation.
What do you mean by 1 step?
Yes.
0 + (-1/3), rather.
Yes.
So, x = -1/3.

Well, in this case, yes.
As long as we're just training for the quiz and not just doing it, it's fine.
Well, addition is commutative, as a + b = b + a. So, just pick any two numbers for that.
Well, as I said, let's not look at the quiz itself.
Make up your own example.
I just told you what commutativity is.
A binary operation | is commutative is the order of the operands doesn't matter: x|y = y|x.
And example of a commutative operation is addition: x + y = y + x.
So, just pick a pair of numbers and show that the order doesn't matter.
Wait. I just told you that we're not discussing the questions from the quiz.
Well, that's true.

Yeah, that's an option. Try reviewing the topic in your textbook, too.

@spice lark Hi can I get assistance with a factorization question?

Sure, but create your own thread.

...do you have a help thread?
