I can’t view the lecture because of technical problem!
Please help me to calculate please!!!December 1, 2015 at 5:01 pm #286783I am sorry, but the answers must be in the Kaplan Kit and so for me to simply type out an answer achieves nothing.
I am also sorry that you cannot view the lecture, but you cannot expect me to type out the lectures here. If you have technical problems then you should ask in the support forum – if you say what the problem is then admin will suggest a solution.
