1. ## quotient of functions

I forgot what these are called but when it comes to these, i get wayyy lost and just dont know what to do.

$(1 - x)/(1 + x)=100$

Thanks for the help!

These are called equations. Don't be lost my friend, just multiply both sides by $(1+x)$. Then distibute the $100$, and isolate $x.$

Tell me the answer is $x = -99/100$

Yes.

5. $
\frac{1 - x}{1 + x}=100
$

$
1-x=100(1+x)
$

$
1-x=100+100x
$

$
1-100=100x+x
$

$
-99=101x
$

$
\frac{-99}{101}=x
$

6. EDIT: EDIT: alriiiight. Thanks a whole bunch.
