99−98((98)/(99)) = ? Can you solve this?

98+((99)/(99))−98−((98)/(99)) = (1/(99))

do you assume a(b/c) means a+(b/c)?

I never used/understood a(b/c) = a+(b/c) in algebra/maths texts. I only found in, for instance, cooking recipes books (♮2 1/2 teaspoonε)

99((99)/(99))−98((98)/(99))=99((98+1)/(99))−98((98)/(99)) =(98+1)((98+1)/(99))−98((98)/(99))=98((98)/(99))+((2×98)/(99))+(1/(99))−98((98)/(99)) =((2×98+1)/(99))=((196)/(99))

I know that a+(b/c)≠a×(b/c) ax=a×x not a+x.

98×((98)/(99))+((2×98)/(99))+(1/(99))−98((98)/(99)) ≠ ((2×98+1)/(99)) as 98×((98)/(99)) ≠98((98)/(99))

2(1/3)=(7/3) 2(1/3) = 2+(1/3)=(7/3) 2(1/3)=2×(1/3)= (2/3) ∴ 2(1/3)= 2+(1/3) ≠ 2×(1/3) ∴ you are wrong

★ 98 ((98+1)/(99 )) ★

Just a simple calculus.

Ok

I assume a(b/c)=a×(b/c) not a+(b/c)
