I love problems like these… turning a false statement into a true statment

You gave me this:

36/3-9/3=1

These can be trial and error solutions, so let’s work backwards on the left. That last divided by three makes me want to get a three somewhere over on the far left, so here is the way to do it:

36/3-9/3=1

(36/3-9)/3 = 1

The grouping symbols tells me to work inside first, and “my dear aunt sally” rules takes over from there, so working from left to right:

(36/3-9)/3 = 1

(12-9)/3 = 1

(3)/3 = 1

3/3 = 1

Which is true!
