Can anyone tell me
\(a\neq b\)
Manhattan 5lb answer => (a-b)/-(a-b) = -1 so B is correct (Understood)
but why can't we do this like
1) \(\frac{a-b}{b-a}\) [?] 1
2)(a-b) [?] (b-a) multiplying b-a on both sides
3)(a-b) [?] -(a-b) dividing by (a-b)
4)1 > -1
A is greater according to this method can I know why I cant do this like
\(a\neq b\)
Quantity A |
Quantity B |
\(\frac{(a-b)}{(b-a)}\) |
1 |
