Answer:
0

Explanation:

Given the following expression:


(1)/(3)m-1-(1)/(2)n

You know that the value of "m" is:


m=21

And the value of "n" is:


n=12

Knowing these values, you must substitute them into the given expression:


(1)/(3)(21)-1-(1)/(2)(12)

So, in order to evaluate, the first step is to solve the multiplications and then you must reduce the fractions. Then:


((1)(21))/(3)-1-((1)(12))/(2)=(21)/(3)-1-(12)/(2)=7-1-6

Now, you must solve the subtraction.

You get that the difference (which is the result of the subtraction) is the following:


=0
