In order to simplify complex variables, you must first consider the numerical values separate from the variable. In the case of 24x/48x, you would look at the numbers alone to see if they have any factors. These numbers have the number 6 in common. So, divide it by 6. This will give you 4/8. This still requires some simplification. Two is still a factor for both. So, divide it again by four. This will give you 1/2. Now, if the numerator was raised to the second power, in the original equation...

Now if you write the numbers as exponents of your base number you can directly equate the exponent part and solve for the missing variable. ...
You Tube User robichaudd teaches you how to simplify a complex fraction with 3 fractions top and bottom. Your result should be 1 fraction over 1 fraction. To do this you must find the L.C.D. at the top, which x cubed. That is the largest variable there. Thus, the L.C.D. at the bottom is x squared. Now you want to make each x below the fraction line be x cubed, respectively x squared. You then have one large fraction over one large fraction. But that is just one large fraction multiplied by th...
In this video the instructor shows how to solve a quadratic equation. If you have a quadratic equation with complex fractional terms and you find that a particular term is repeating then equate that term to a new variable and replace the variable in the given equation. Now try to get the equation a*x*x + b*x + c = 0, and solve for the roots of the equation which gives the values of the intermediate variable. But this variable was replaced instead of another term. So equate that term to the va...
