result of simplify function

Hi:
I am trying to use simplify() function.
If I define t1= sym('x+1/y+1/(x*y)=3'); t2=simplify(t1); then is it equivalent to t2=simplify('x+1/y+1/(x*y)-3')?
Thanks

No. The first one creates a symbolic equation that is then simplified. The second one creates a symbolic expression that is then simplified.
The first one would come out like, (x^2*y+x+1)/(x*y) = 3 The second one would come out like, (x^2*y+x+1-3*x*y)/(x*y)

Sorry, I'm working on theory here; theory and knowledge of a pretty similar computer program. I do not have the Symbolic Toolbox myself.
In the other program, the simply()'d version is:

In the other program, the simply()'d version is equivalent to the following:

with the difference that everywhere 10^ appears in the above, the other program had all of the zeros in-place. I had to convert to 10^N notation in order to fit some of the numbers in the width of the comment box, as Matlab Answers does not have a scroll-bar for comments.
