(1) Is the expression on the left really a/b+c = , or is it supposed to be a/(b+c) = ?

(2) Whichever the case, try plugging in a few random numbers and see what you find....

In your post,   WHAT IS   a/b+c ?

Is it   a/(b+c)   or   (a/b) + c ?

By posting formulas to this forum, you should use PARENTHESES properly and systematically
to show which part of the formula is the numerator and which is the denominator.

So, edit your text and re-post it to the forum.

PLEASE do not post it to me personally.

To me personally you may post your "THANKS", ONLY,   if you want.     //  (strongly recommended (!) )
