You can put this solution on YOUR website!
even though this is written as 9/9, I will assume that is not what you intended.When you post problems, it would behoove you to pay attention to order of operations. Remember mult and division take precedent over addition and subtraction. If 9/9 is what you intended my apologies....email me and I will re do it...thanks Mathtut
