Parentheses Placement

[GroJo]

I am trying to solve a problem that reads: (x - 2y)/(y - 2x)

Should it not read like [x-(2y)]/[y-(2x)] I do have the values of x & y, x=(-1) y= 4

Am i writing these out properly?

I am trying to solve a problem that reads: (x - 2y)/(y - 2x) <-------- *

Should it not read like [x-(2y)]/[y-(2x)] \(\displaystyle \ \ \ \)


I do have the values of x & y, x=(-1) y= 4

Am i writing these out properly? \(\displaystyle \ \ \ \) Yes, but the parentheses are not needed. What you have for * above is sufficient.
