How to display (a-b) and not -(b-a)...



Hi,

wxMaxima 0.7.0a http://wxmaxima.sourceforge.netMaxima 5.10.0
http://maxima.sourceforge.net

((y*m)+(1-y)*m)/((y*m/r1)+(1-y)*m/r2);
ratsimp(%);

But now it's ok! I don't understand why, so I can't reproduce the problem...

If I find out the same problem I copy immediately the method to reproduce
it!

Thank you to respond me!
