Re: Equations with parenthesis?
If a clerk said the price was 16384 / 32768 dollars, would you not be annoyed at her making you do extra work?

Re: Equations with parenthesis?
No, maybe she is doing me a favor! 
1/100x^2 + 4/100xy + 4/100xy + 16/100y^2
combine the two 4/100xy's, right?
= 1/100x^2 + 8/100xy + 16/100y^2?

Re: Equations with parenthesis?
No that clerk, why did she say 17384 / 32768 dollars, she should have said a half a dollar, then you would have snatched those shoes right up. She caused you to miss a big sale because she does not know how to reduce a fraction. Now what was the answer to that FOIL problem again.
