Answer:

99

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate (x+y)/(x-y) for greatest possible value with the following constraints:

x ≠ y

1 ≤ x ≤ 50

1 ≤ y ≤ 50

To achieve greatest possible value:

Numerator should be as large as possible.

Denominator should be as small as possible without being negative.

x = 50

y = 49

= (50 + 49)/(50 - 49)

= 99/1 = 99
