Hi Melody,
the left side I also got, however this is what I did with the right side:
\({18x^3} \over9x^3+x-27x^2-3\)
\(18x^3 \over(9x^3+x)+(-27x^2-3)\)
\(18x^3 \over x(9x^2+1)-3(9x^2+1)\)
\(18x^3 \over (x-3)(9x^2+1)\)
\(18x^2 \over (x-3)(3x+1)(3x+1)\)
so now it's;
\(-(3x+1)-{18x^3 \over(x-3)(3x+1)(3x+1)}\)
and this is where it ends for me...yes, I do not know, either = or * would have worked nicely, but subtraction?..I don't know..
Melody, anyways, thank you kindly once again for your help...I think I'll let this one pass..
