Thanks for the help. One of these days I might even figure out calculus🙂

Is that called a commutative rule? Using that rule, the next one X/(X-1)=1/(x-1) comes out the same! X=i.
I'm not sure that there is a name for the identity Duchess wrote. It's an immediate consequence of equality:
(a = b) <=> (ac = bc)

Just stating a fact.
You are in a forum that is discussing Maths to a reasonable degree of competence.
You seem to be trying to join in, yet fail to understand that if a/b = c/d, then ad = bc
As I said, over here that wouldn't even be classed as difficult 16 yr old algebra. Not sure what the standards where you live are like.
Challenge me to a game? You may have noticed, I am on a break, thanks.
And no one can take that away from me.

Duchess, if you ever decide to come out of retirement, I would be happy to whoop your ass at a game of chess. 🙂

Let's hope it doesn't involve much basic algebra!
I must say, D, that you seem to have a much more 'forgiving' manner of addressing this sonhouse character.
I have been labelled *woefully ignorant* or the like for a much higher mathematical knowledge (even if I do say so myself).
Do you have your favourites? Am I not one of them? (Smiley punctuation mark face)
The post that was quoted here has been removedI had quite a bit of math training but that one was new to me, I mostly studied the math of ion implanters, magnetic fields and such and the math of electronics, ohms law and such.
I asked because I wanted to know what I was doing wrong trying to solve that bit.I am still interested in learning at 77 yo. BTW, my favorite subject in HS was geometry.
The post that was quoted here has been removedRatings would not matter.
I would take my time and study the board showing great discipline, with a focused purpose in mind:
Take down the Duchess!!
When I win, Duchess would be forced to concede that she now appreciates a white, American man. 🙂
If only......
