Hi I am completely stumped on this one, and the OG doesn't do a very good job of explaining this one. Any help is greatly appreciated - this is a great tool so far.

Hi Carlson,

Happy to help!

We have 1 / (0.75 - 1). We know that 0.75 - 1 = -0.25. So now we have:

1 / -0.25

We can multiply both sides by 4 to get:

4 / -1

This is the same as -4 / 1, which is simply -4.
