I submitted (2(1-x))/3 - 8/1=1/(6x)-(2x-3)/3 to cymath. In solving it, it gets to a step
(2(1-x))/3 - 8/1=1/(6x)-((2x)/3-1)
Then it removes the brackets around the last term like so
(2(1-x))/3 - 8/1=1/(6x)-(2x)/3-1
But this also resulted in the sign of the last term being changed to a + like so
(2(1-x))/3 - 8/1=1/(6x)-(2x)/3+1
Why does removing the brackets require the sign to be changed? Without the sign change, of course, the final answer would be totally different.
