Hello, I saw your comment.

Would you like to argue with me ?

OK, it looks like this visitor realized that he (or she) was not in a right position,
and is not going to argue with me.


It is that truly rare case at this forum, when a visitor agrees with me.


Great progress . . . It looks promising . . .

highlight_green%28%285%2F2%29N-17=48%29
5N-34=96
5N=96%2B34=120%2B10
5N=130
highlight%28N=26%29

---------------------------------------------
OR the way likely not how meant, 17-%285%2F2%29N=48
-%285%2F2%29N=48-17=31
N=-%282%2F5%2931

N=-62%2F5
N=-12%262%2F5
