He started off with 99$
if u take the reciprocal of each fraction
22(3/2) = 33
then 33(3/1) = 99
as a check 99(2/3) is 66 and 66(1/3) = 22 which is what he is left with

$\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}$

Simplify :- 1 + - w² + 9w.

$\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}$

$\large \sf1 + - w ^ { 2 } + 9 w$

Quadratic polynomial can be factored using the transformation $\sf \: ax^{2}+bx+c=a\left(x-x_{1}\right)\left(x-x_{2}\right)$ , where $\sf x_{1} and x_{2}$ are the solutions of the quadratic equation $\sf \: ax^{2}+bx+c=0$ .

$\large \sf-w^{2}+9w+1=0$

All equations of the form $\sf\:ax^{2}+bx+c=0$ can be solved using the quadratic formula: $\sf\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ . The quadratic formula gives two solutions, one when ± is addition and one when it is subtraction.

$\large \sf \: w=\frac{-9±\sqrt{9^{2}-4\left(-1\right)}}{2\left(-1\right)} \\$

Square 9.

$\large \sf \: w=\frac{-9±\sqrt{81-4\left(-1\right)}}{2\left(-1\right)} \\$

Multiply -4 times -1.

$\large \sf \: w=\frac{-9±\sqrt{81+4}}{2\left(-1\right)} \\$

Add 81 to 4.

$\large \sf \: w=\frac{-9±\sqrt{85}}{2\left(-1\right)} \\$

Multiply 2 times -1.

$\large \sf \: w=\frac{-9±\sqrt{85}}{-2} \\$

Now solve the equation $\sf\:w=\frac{-9±\sqrt{85}}{-2}$ when ± is plus. Add -9 to $\sf\sqrt{85}$ .

$\large \sf \: w=\frac{\sqrt{85}-9}{-2} \\$

Divide -9+ $\sf\sqrt{85}$ by -2.

$\large \boxed{ \sf \: w=\frac{9-\sqrt{85}}{2}} \\$

Now solve the equation $\sf\:w=\frac{-9±\sqrt{85}}{-2}$ when ± is minus. Subtract $\sf\sqrt{85}$ from -9.

$\large \sf \: w=\frac{-\sqrt{85}-9}{-2} \\$

Divide $\sf-9-\sqrt{85}$ by -2.

$\large \boxed{ \sf \: w=\frac{\sqrt{85}+9}{2}} \\$

Factor the original expression using $\sf\:ax^{2}+bx+c=a\left(x-x_{1}\right)\left(x-x_{2}\right)$ . Substitute $\sf\frac{9-\sqrt{85}}{2}$ for $\sf\:x_{1}$ and $\sf\frac{9+\sqrt{85}}{2}$ for $\sf\:x_{2}$ .

$\large \boxed{ \boxed {\mathfrak{-w^{2}+9w+1=-\left(w-\frac{9-\sqrt{85}}{2}\right)\left(w-\frac{\sqrt{85}+9}{2}\right) }}}$

Well, in the picture you inserted it says that it's 8th grade mathematics. So, I'm not sure if you have learned simplification with the help of biquadratic formula. So, if you want the answer simplified only according to like terms then your answer will be ⇨

$\large \sf \: 1 + - w {}^{2} + 9w \\ =\large \boxed{\bf \: 1 - {w}^{2} + 9w}$
