The year the U.S was established 1776

Improved Answer:

In today's terms the year 1999 expressed in Roman numerals is MCMXCIX.

But the Romans themselves would have probably calculated the number 1999 on a abacus counting device as MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII and by adding I to the right hand side and subtracting I from the left hand side of these numerals simply wrote it out as IMM (-1+2000 = 1999)

The confusion about how to write out Roman numerals stems from the fact that the rules governing the Roman numeral system were introduced during the Middle Ages and that was centuries after the decline of the Roman Empire.

Is the year 1999 converted into roman numerals as mcmxcix correct if not can you explain why?

It is incorrect because the Roman numerals that represent 1999 are MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII which, when I is placed to the left and right hand sides of them, can be simplified to IMM (2000-1). The numerals MCMXCIX are in fact a set of numerals that represent: M-C+M-X+C-I+X (1000-100+1000-10+100-1+10) which, when cancelled down, equals IMM. Likewise, the numerals M+CM+XC+X are a set of numerals that represent: M-C+M-X+C+X which, when cancelled down, equals MM. Working out Roman numerals is a good prerequisite to learning Algebra because it gives you the confidence to understand and associate letters and symbols with numbers.
