1 minus negative 49 over 81
Either we have
[1-(-49) / 81 =
50/81
Or we have
1 - (-49/81) =
1 + (49/81) =
[81 + 49] / 81 =
130/ 81
If the problem is: 1 - -49/81, the problem can be simplified because subtracting a negative can be replaced by adding a positive:
1 + 49/81 = 1 49/81.
If the problem is: (1 - -49) / 81, then it reduces to (1 + 49)/81 that is 50/81.
