You need to check if the following statement is true:
Type into the Algebrator the right side of the equation and click on 'Solve'. You will get the following:
Meaning, the numerator of the fraction is 0:
-1 + 1 = 0
The denominator of the fraction is -3:
-1 - 2 = - 3
Dividing 0 by (-3) gives 0.
So:
and not -1.
Hence, the statement
is FALSE.
