i know it is like that but i did not know how to write in that notation .that is why i used the division symbol

All you had to do was add parenthesis, doesn't need latex. [math][m\left(x-1\right)+n\left(y-1\right)]/ (x-y)[/math]

have you watched that part in the video?. i understand everything because i have watched the video. have you?. please, answer me this question. we have been going back and forth about an equation that i have copied exactly from a video. i don't think you have watched the video

I do not see any video attached here......
 
these are two threads that should have been one. the video is in the other thread

put it together and paste in youtube
can not paste the link because when i click save it the screen shows as unavailable

1)Type something
2) Then highlight part or all of what you wrote
3) Click on the linked chain above.
4) Paste the link.
5) Done
 
the toolbar is not available either. it is not active. it is okay, though. i don't have much use for it but so the mods know that the toolbar is not working. just the toggle for la tex

I thought the denominator did not need any parenthesis because it was standing by itself, there is nothing else there.

Order or operations and parenthesis are essential in mathematics. It is one of the things you'd learn as an algebra student. If you don't know how to use parenthesis, please understand it and use it. They are essential to communicate mathematical expressions. What you wrote is completely different from what you meant. I reccomend you do practice on order of operation and parenthesis before something else.
 
i am quite familiar with that. been practicing it a lot. call my bluff, post one for me or send me one!.

does a denominator need to be enclosed in parenthesis when there is only one operation being performed?. that is my question. like in this example?
 
start it tomorrow. i'm gonna have a late dinner now and then to bed to rest my weary head. been a good math day today. I enjoy the heck out of this forum. thank you all, thank you BBB. LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT CHALLENGE!
 
I asked a question. You did not see it , I think.
When there's a term either on the numerator or denominator by themselves, there is no other term, but that only term, is there a need for parentheses?.

As in m(n-y) / x - y

I don't think there is a need for parathenses on x-y, do you?
(The divison bar applies to the entire the numerator).
I have studied the order of Operations thoroughly. I repeat, throughly .I'm very familiar with Pemdas or gemdas, and all those acronyms.
There is nothing to it.
Working from inside out
Whats inside braces/ brackets/ parentheses takes priority then the rest
P= parentheses
E= Exponents
M= multiplicación
D= división
A=addition
S= subtracting
Piece of cake. Nothing to it

Yes, you do need parenthesis.
The division sign does not mean it applies to the entire denominator.

That is all well and good but
the teacher on the YouTube video you watched did not use it and that did not affect the result all.
 
So you want me to put grouping symbols where needed in the equations you posted for the challenge right?
