You can put this solution on YOUR website!


(1) Is the expression on the left really a/b+c = a%2Fb%2Bc, or is it supposed to be a/(b+c) = a%2F%28b%2Bc%29?

(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.
