Answer 17

We can also use {top \over bottom} as in {3\over 4} gives \({3\over 4}\).

Answer 18

neat! - I didn't know that.

Answer 19

but it's very limited? with this you can write only one fraction and that's it? or am i missing something?

Answer 20

Tomas: do you mean you can't do this with Mr.Maths suggestion?:\[\frac{x^2+3}{y-6}\]

Answer 21

Looks like you can:\[{x^2+3\over y-6}\]

Answer 22

You can!
\[{x^2+3x-1 \over {4x^2-5x \over 3-x} +2x-1}\]

Answer 23
